I am removing the clutch master cylinder. The u-bolt that holds the master cylinder is hitting the brake booster and will not come out of the holes.. Is there any tricks so I do not have to remove the brake booster? There is no mention about removing the brake booster in the GM manual?

Edit:
Item number 25 Will not pull out of the fire wall because it hits the back of the brake booster.

 

does mc move out with the ubolt, might try and tweak it to one side as your sliding it out and see if it'll move.

 

I loosened the brake booster about a 1/4" to get it out and it was still a battle. I gave up for the day after I spent an hour trying to install the new MC. I'll try again tomorrow. Man I am glad I am not a flat rate mechanic anymore, jobs like this would kill me. After doing the computer wiring harness and this I think I am going with a 5th gen with a warranty as my driver and stick with pre-80's cars for fun.

 

lol, Ive got a harness thats better than the one i have, waiting till i have a reason to take the engine out. looks to me like that would make it way easier.
