TD4 clutch master cylinder

FL1 TD4 2004 manual. Back breaks are now done and I moved to clutch problem. First thing is to replace the clutch master cylinder before doing anything else. The place for the master is very tight. I'd need to get my hand to twist the cylinder counter clockwise but it's just too tight for my hand at least. The fuse box was easy to get out of the way but can you get this wiring box also moved a bit to give some room. Is there any other fixings than this clip that I circled in the picture that is holding it in place?

From memory there is a nut under the modules!!

Ok, that is then keeping it in place! Thank you.

Managed to do this without removing the wiring box. This is a bit of a nightmare to do for a left hand drive car. But it's possible to turn and remove the cylinder just by removing the fuse box out of the way. I'd guess in a right hand drive car the cylinder is not buried under all that stuff.

Had to make some tools for the job. One to turn the cylinder with a spanner and other one is for the quick release connection.

Brilliant, well done. Love making tools, they get used again and again!

With a RHD car it is just the suspension top that is buried under the electrics!!

One thing more, I think it's quite hilarious actually. There is an emergency switch for the fuel delivery. There is a sticker indicating the place. But the red button is unreachable under the stuff in LHD car!
