The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Driveline underfloor brake master cylinder removal?

Ok, fighting through my 58 apache 1/2 ton, going to do whole brake system, having brain lapse on how to remove brake master cylinder from the rod that goes up to brake pedal. It's hanging loose, but the grease fitting area attached to front of master is where I'm confused and I can't locate in manuals or supplements how to remove from that part. Or, do you go up into the engine bay and unbolt from brake pedal and then press that out to install new master? Or, is there something under the zeirdt fitting that I didn't remove holding it there? THANK YOU for your help.

Hy lefty1, there is a bolt retaining a plate which fits in a slot in the pedal pivot shaft. If you remove the bolt you should be able to remove the plate and tap the pivot shaft out of the master cylinder and the pedal releasing the pedal from the master cylinder, hope that helps.

Thank you 3B, my God, I've driven kingpins out of axles easier before. for anyone running future search, remove spring and you can move master around some. Also remove speedo cable to get more swinging room, but you'll still b fighting the exhaust for swinging room.
