tips for replacing clutch master

my car hasn't been shifting very well. i will bleed the clutch and it works fine for about 2-4 weeks then gets hard to shift again. i have an extra master, slave, reservoir, but its so tight in there without taking the brake booster out.

i have the master cylinder in the hole, but it is damn near impossible to get the the u bolt in with the space provided.

what is the easiest way to get it in?? thanks

when i did mine i letf the old master in and pulled the roll pin out and put the new line in and went from there but thats what you are trying to change so that dont help

well i could have tried that. i just went to replace it all because i had an extra and wasn't sure what was leaking. turns out after i got the old one out i realized the second master cylinder didn't work. so i said screw it, i'm gonna tow it and pay someone...it's too cold :o

thanks

when we did mine, we got the master in there and then made my buddies girlfriend put the u bolt in.
