Default Tick Master *%$^!!! How to get in place???

I am installing a Tick Master Cylinder (from Tick). I am hung up between the wires and the brake booster! I've tried every angle imaginable. I can see it from inside the car. If you have experience with this andy tips, ideas, or just motivation would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hopefully, you removed the rod from the MC. That makes it a lot easier.

I just removed the brake booster more work, but more room to work with I know the tick is much bigger than the stock MC.

Those things kick ***? Thinking about saving a little more for it when I do my clutch in two weeks.

You just missed a group sale, they were like $50 off and had free speed bleeder lines $50 value, so total about $100 dollars of savings

it really is a tight fit. just make sure the rod is unscrewed from the master and also that the main wire harness that runs under neath it is pushed out of its clip and as far out of the way as possible

Ok, it's in! Took a t.v. and beer break. Went back a few hours later and it almost dropped in. Getting the first bolt in by yourself is a bit rough but after several tries I got it. Hope to get some bleeding done tonight and possibly a test drive!!

Glad you got it in. I am hoping to get started on mine as soon as they ship out. (I joined the group purchase)

Glad you got in installed finally. Just a FYI to everyone that is thinking of purchasing but hasn't quite pulled the trigger, it was by far one of the best upgrades Iv made to my car. Pedal has great feel and you dont have to worry about the pedal staying to the floor since the MC has double the capacity.

The tick master is MASSIVE compared to the stock unit. It is a gigantic PITA to install, but once you have her installed and dialed in, it's easily one of the most beneficial mods you can do with these M6 F-Body's by far. The speed bleeder is another one of those items that should be installed along with it - assuming you're replacing your or bleeding your clutch.

They are a PITA to get in. Taking out is no problem as I learned the other day, lol. Not looking forward to reinstalling mine.
