    Take frame mounted master cylinder, throw in trash. Take all available funds and buy/fabricate swinging pedals with master cylinder where it belongs. On the firewall! While you're at it, take on a second job to earn enough money to buy/build/fabricate hydraulic clutch to get rid of the other "worst mechanical design" setup on a Jeep. Then you'll only have the last, "worst possible design mechanically" left. The bellcrank steering assembly! But I could be wrong.

    I got my 1 inch square MC cover off with a cresent wrench. It is a pain for sure.

    I cannot access it from underneath, or the hood area.

    Done deal.

    Underneath with a 1" wrench. Very little room to manuever the wrench with the steering shaft and the 350 in there, but I got it. I think the next time I take the cap off, I'll weld a bracket to it so I can do it by hand.
