Master cylinder replacement

[bcracecar]

So....

I am currently in the middle of replacing the master cylinder on my 93 gsx. I have everything unbolted except for the hard line into the cylinder. What is the best way to unscrew that? I was planning on pulling out the master first then spinning it counter clockwise, but I don't think it will clear with that line still being connected. I would like to get this finished so I can drive this thing! Anybody else run into this issue? Am I overlooking something very easy? Any help I could get would be appreciated. I searched around the forum to see if I could find anything and I couldn't... Maybe I missed the thread and can be pointed in the right direction?

Thanks!

when i replaced mine i just disconnected the brake lines after that the 2 bolts on the engine bay side. Then u have to disconnect it from the brake pedal i think there is a cotter pin that holds it in place its been a while

If its like the 2g, just use a flare wrench to disconnect it before unbolting the master cylinder.

I ended up figuring it out. I was just tired, it was dark and I overlooked it. I ran into a bigger issue though... One of the damn studs on the master cylinder snapped. How can I fix this? There is only two studs, so without both tightened down the master won't sit flush and function properly

Crossing my fingers on not having anymore of these pesky issues!

Did it snap flush? If so, try a reverse drill. If that dont work, drill and retap
