Tick Master Install???
Tick Master Install??? Alright. 1st of all this project started out as a clutch replacement. I bought a Monster Stage 3 with the lightened flywheel, speed bleeder, new slave, and all new hardware. Got the trans out and the Centerforce was toast. Decided to do a stage 2 on the transmission while it was out. Went very well, not nearly as bad as I thought. Reinstalled transmission. Found driveshaft rear u-joint bent. Upon further investigation found out it was a 1330 u-joint and Moser yoke was for 1350. Also driveline was dented. Ordered Spahn Extreme driveline. While waiting for driveline I went to bleed the clutch. Pedal kept sticking to floor which it never did before. Car has a Mcleod master. Went under dash. Master was leaking externaly. DAMMIT!!! Order Tick Master. Went to install. Mcleod master does not have u-bolt. Has seperate bolts with nylock nuts. Tried to lay on engine and get my hand on the master to put a wrench. NO LUCK. Am I missing something?? Is my arm just too big to fit in there(probably too fat, not too muscular!!) Any other ideas aside from removing the brake booster and master??

It sounds like you know what you need to do, but just don't want to. lol without a u-bolt I don't know how a person would get the master cyl out without pulling the brake booster
There are bolts from the engine side into the car. Nylon locking nuts inside the car. I guess I will remove the brake master and booster. Master looks OK. Should move out of the way without disconnecting lines. Booster looks like a pain in the a#@!! Remove bolts inside, but is there room to get it out?

Why don't you do a step by step "how to" on this while you at it?
On a side note, if you just replacing the master is it worth while to get the speed bleeder...or just if your going to remove the tranny?

You have to remove the transmission to install the speed bleeder to the slave. The factory bleeder screw has to come off and it is about 2.5 - 3" long so it is inside the bellhousing a ways.

I have installed Multiple Tick Masters and what they do is have the unit tapped and lock washers. My only grip was the supplied bolts are short and they do not drill all the way through and it was a PITA on the install.
Old Mcleod units may have had supplied bolts and nuts but it should not have had that
IMO I would get a dremel and cut the bolt, hell the whole Cyl out and grab from the engine bay and yank it.

Verdad Gallardo Finally got the Tick unit in. Bled flawlessly. Very firm pedal now. Installed new Spohn Extreme driveline. Took car out. It is like a whole different car. Clutch grabs good, transmission shifts very, very smooth. 6000 RPM gear changes are a breeze all the way through 6th gear. WHAT A DIFFERENCE!! The new Monster stage 3 barely chatters at all. Maybe that is because I was used to the old clutch that loosened a few fillings. Thanks to everyone for the replies. Can't wait to finish the break in and go to the track to see what she will do!!
