CA '85 FB Master Clutch Cylinder Replacement

I recently caught a leak in my master clutch cylinder, so...

I was wondering what would be the easiest and most efficient was to remove the old busted cylinder and put in the new one.

*some of the bolts and nuts are so eroded that even a spray of WD 40 wouldn't get them off. They just ended up getting stripped. HELP PLEASE!

I'm a newby too so take what I saw with a grain of salt. I have a FB and it sat for 15 years. Most of my bolts and nuts are the same way. I haven't found a better solution then to chop them off. Drill them out and use a bolt extractor. Most of the bolts just break off while being removed. I've used a dremel with a cutting wheel and it works fine. Penetrating oil, like "Liquid Wrench", works on some. Good luck.
