[Tigers] Lower Brake Master Cylinder Nut

[Allan Ballard]

I put a pair of needle nose channel locks on one inside nut at a time while using a socket and short extension on the engine bay side.

The inside spring and the cup-bracket holding it in place usually gives me more trouble.

I removed the cowl to fender brace trying to gain better access.  I've tried wrenches, sockets, distributor wrenches, swivels, flexible shafts.  I've tried it from inside the car as well.  I can get a wrench or socket on the nut, but there is no room to turn either due to the master cylinder body, clutch master cylinder body and steering column.  I really don't want to have to remove the steering column.  Does anyone have any tips or suggestions before I sell the car?
