Default Sloppy clutch pedal...

Having read some of the posts after a search, I've purchased a power bleeder and ran new synthetic fluid through my clutch lines.

All seemed fine until I went for a drive (man, I've missed driving that car) - still looses pedal pressure. I'm thinking its the master cylinder now. I'm not losing any fluid at all.

How easy is it to remove the line at the "quick-disconnect" so I can test the master?

The first time can be a little stiff, but once you do it once it will be easier. Just be careful the first time, especially since the sleeve you have to push in with two screwdrivers is plastic. I'm not sure if opening the bleeder screw would reduce the pressure you have to put on the sleece, but if you are having problems you could try it. You're going to need to bleed it after removing the cable anyway.

Losing pedal pressure sounds like the typical pre-2001 hydraulics issue to me...
