Replacing Clutch Master. How to access that bolt? :(
 
Based on very few threads about replacing clutch master, I assume this is a straightforward job. But not quite for me. :(
How should I access one of the two bolts that is on the left side from the clutch pedal? I can barely see it let alone using a wrench in there. I've taken off the steering wheel to have more reach, but still not enough.
Any ideas?

When in doubt, use the torch!

Haha no, I ran into the same problem when replacing mine a while back... My problem was the dash mat was restricting me from getting a wrench over the nut and I didnt have a deep well socket to fit. Best solution was to cut the dash mat and peel it back enough to allow a rachet wrench over it. Once I was done I zip tied that mat back together.

Also this is assuming your running into the same problem as I did.

Use a deep well socket with extension and swivel.

Once you have the right tools it's no problem at all.

Thanks for replies. Finally managed to do it with the tool Fritz mentioned
