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.
