1G How to replace a clutch master cylinder in a 1G the easy way

Ok, I just replaced my master cylinder in my car, and I have found an easier way to replace it. All of you who have done this before me know what I mean by easier way. Below are pictures to help all of you who need some sort of guidance as to how to do this, as I saw no tech article myself.

Here we go.

First, locate your clutch master cylinder, pictured and circled here.

I'm trying to change the master on a 1g DSM 1990 and noticed that it's very hard to see behind where the master cylinder connector is. Are the details in this post available somewhere? I'm looking for a way to replace the master without having to take out the steering wheel or whole clutch assembly.

Thanks!

It's very straightforward. Unless I have to I use the old clevis and just unscrew the old master from it. Then it's just two bolts and a fitting and it's out of there. No need to take out steering wheel, pedal etc. If you have to replace the clevis part it's only a little more difficult.

Based on your 3rd and 4th picture, how do we remove the pin of the clevis. Do we need to remove something before. Thanks

There is a hairpin. Remove it and clevis pin slides out.

Yes but how do we get there, is there an easy trick. Do we need to push the pedal to the bottom? thanks.
