Default Tricks for removing Tick clutch master

I need to remove my Tick clutch master cylinder for maintenance. What is the best way to do this without dumping brake fluid all over the frame rail? I've removed the fluid from the reservoir, but the reservoir, line, and white plastic adapter will need to come off in order to pass the master back through the firewall. I'm assuming fluid will go everywhere when the white plastic adapter is removed.

Are your wanting to remove the Tick clutch m/c completely from it's location, to include it's mounting to the clutch pedal bracket?

Yes, I need to remove and replace the entire master cylinder. It has to come out with the clutch pedal assembly.
