Default changing master cylinder...

I'm changing the master cylinder (the 5th time its gone out in less than a year of ownership) myself cause the dealer says I went over the 12,000 mile warranty. I read in my manual that you have to take out the driver side floor board to disconnect the master cyl. Does anyone know how the floorboard unbolts?

Whoa!

Are you talking brake or clutch master cylinder?

Brake doesn't require removing floor board and since the floor boards are molded in I don't think clutch does either

Master cyl is on the brake booster in the engine bay, attached to the firewall. Must be some special configuration there boys
