Is it possible to remove the clutch master cylinder WITHOUT having to remove the brake booster? I can remove one of the 12mm nuts, but the other one seems impossible to remove with the brake booster in place. Any suggestions?

Yea i know its really easy but i still cant reach that one nut

Are u using a 1/4" ratchet? I dont own one so ive tried several extensions with my 3/8" ratchet and it just wont fit in the gap

get the right tool for the job. its very easy. the booster just sits a little close to it. use a 1/4 with a wobbly extension, or just use an open ended wrench if you have to.
