[Tigers] Lower Brake Master Cylinder Nut

[Brent Edinger]

I always put a little tape on a box wrench and put it on the bolt head under the master cylinder the disconnect the pedal and swing it upward. Then slowly turn the nut with a socket
>From inside. The wrench will turn till it comes up against something nearby then undo the nut. This is for one man operation. Sometimes I can get my wife to hold the wrench but you know how that goes.

I'm trying to replace the brake master cylinder on my 1966. I've spent
three days trying to loosen the lower master cylinder retaining nut.?
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?
