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<br>
>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.<br>

I'm trying to replace the brake master cylinder on my 1966. I've spent<br>
three days trying to loosen the lower master cylinder retaining nut.?<br>
I removed the cowl to fender brace trying to gain better access.?<br>
I've tried wrenches, sockets, distributor wrenches, swivels, flexible<br>
shafts.? I've tried it from inside the car as well.? I can get a<br>
wrench or socket on the nut, but there is no room to turn either due to<br>
the master cylinder body, clutch master cylinder body and steering<br>
column.? I really don't want to have to remove the steering<br>
column.? Does anyone have any tips or suggestions before I sell the<br>
car?<br>
<br>
