Is it with a brake booster, or standard non assist? If non assist, you must undo the nut and bolt that retains the brake apply rod to the brake pedal. |

yeah, manual brakes often have a clip that grips the end of the pushrod. it takes some force to get the master off/rod out. screwdriver pry type force. the piston is held into the master cyl casting with a big circlip. one-handed prying screwdriver between master and firewall/bracket won't hurt anything. if it's power brakes, i can't help you. (i hate power brakes so much i removed them from every 60's car i had them on! lol. yay pedal pressure!) |
