What are we looking at here? Doesn't seem too complicated--just wondering what you profis have to say about this.
Me: "I can't wait to redline my car!"
Mark: "Didn't you just break a rocker arm?"
Me: "Yeah, I don't think I've learned my lesson."
Mark: "You never will."
No, seriously--its pretty much unbolt and bolt in to replace, yeah?

1. Cylinder connects to to the pedal lever with one bolt. Remove.
2. Then disconnect the line, that was annoying, I disconnected rubber hose and pulled master cylinder out with the metal line. Then installed master cylinder with that line attached.
3. Drain brake fluid out of the clutch master cylinder by crimping the line at the brake fluid reservoir. Unless you hate your carpet.
4. Remove 2 bolts that are a little of a pain.
5. Make sure you buy master cylinder with that little plastic nipple for feeder hose, I put clamp on it for good measure.
Not hard, not easy. Annoying position to work in.
Tools needed: 17mm 13mm wrenches for lever bolt. 11mm and 14mm wrenches for clutch line. 13mm socket/ratchet with extension. Done.
It's a pain to replace. Unbolting the hardline on the back of the master is definitely not fun. Especially if you have large hands.

Weak.
Anyway, I'll tackle it this weekend.

just did mine two weeks ago, it was a pain the ass, not hard or complicated just a reall pain.
it is easier to remove with the hard line attached but i had trouble getting the hard line lined up right when putting the master back in
removing and re-inserting the plastic nipple was a pain in the neck, i ended up removing the hose from the resivor to attach it to the master then rerouting it back through the firewall and re-attaching it the res.
i also removed the drivers seat, takes a few minutes and gives you a little more room to work, also helped to remove the drivers side wheel to get a little extra room to manuver under the car to remove and reattach the hard line.
