69 master cylinder
I am trying to replace the master cylinder on my 69. It is a small block, 4 speed with power brakes. My manual is very vague, but seems to suggest that I have to remove the entire vacuum booster and master cylinder as one unit.
I removed the nuts holding the master cylinder to the booster. The pushrod doesn't want to come out of the master cylinder. I really hate working up under the dashboard. Is there a way to disengage the master cylinder from the booster without removing the entire assembly ?
Thanks for any suggestions,
Richard Beckert

What book are you looking at? There is no car I'm aware of, that is designed to force booster removal just to do the master.
BTW make sure that you bench-bleed the new master before attaching it to the booster again.
