Default Master cylinder install.....wtf.

I cant get this ******* thing to line up both holes! I can get the right side hole fine but the left side seems impossible. It just seems like I cant get it rotated enough. Also this stupid u bolt bullshit keeps getting cockeyed on 1 side so it messes the whole system up...

Any suggestions?

Put the end of the slave on the end of the pedal and pull the pedal out so it goes almost flush and have someone else slide the u bolt in. It goes soooo much faster with two people.

I finally got it. I had to shove my right arm down the side of the brake booster and my left arm down underneath. Was easy when I did that. My right arm is torn up though. haha

Now I gotta get the clutch assembly in..

yeah that was a chore, but eventually it lines up. Once i got mine to line up, i got lucky both holes lined right up and i carefully threaded the bolts in quickly before it moved on me.
