I seem to have a clutch fluid leak and I'm trying to source the problem. So far I've taken out the slave cylinder + pipework to the Master Cylinder but I can't seem to get the above mentioned out? Bolts are off and it's hanging down by a tube in the engine bay, I've taken off the facia by the foot pedals but really can't make anything out to how it's connected. Any tips? Oh and by the way it's clutch and clutch fork were replaced last year so doubt it's them all I noticed was that the pedal was as soft as s**t and there was no fluid left in the master cylinder.
Cheers

you gotta get the clevis pin out which is a bastard,and it is retained by a spring clip on the end.Long nosed pliers,torch and get your head in the footwell looking up-getting back in is even more humorous
 
Right, off to screwfix I go. I only have a dinky pair of pliers. I can't even see the clevis spring for all the wires in the way, even if I get it out how in the Hell do I put it back in. Not fun!
 
From memory I had a foot stool out side the disco and had my back on that with my neck n head in the foot well,crushed up against the centre console( getting cramp like that is a blinder)If you look up follow the clutch pedal and waggle it,you can just about see the clip and clevis pin-reach up with the long nosed pliers and pull off spring clip,then ease out clevis pin(master cylinder will now fall on the floor so best tied up).Make sure to get clevis+clip back on first before doing up bolts-enjoy
