new c5 clutch master cylinder replace....
well at 74 years young I gave it a go, had the old one almost all the way out....but had tech difficulties. , then had to put the old one back in. fun fun fun. looked easier in the you tube videos, and Corvette forum videos , found out when I jacked it up had a puddle in center of car, seems my slave is leaking but never saw a drop till I jacked her up, pedal was going to floor and not returning. so to the shop it goes after the first of the year, kaching,

I feel for you, we've all been there. Curious, what made you want to replace the original master cylinder?
I would recommend having the shop put in a speed bleeder. My shop ran the bleed line right near the clutch fluid reservoir. It's a nice thing to have.

pedal went to the floor, no sign of leakage, knew easier to do master than slave. but after jacking up car i had a puddle of brake fluid near the center of the car; so off to the shop next wk, i will recommend adding bleeder thanx for the advice,
