changing front springs, quick question.
changing front springs, quick question. I'm trying to get to the t50 bolt on driver side under the master cylinder. I've got the master cylinder loose but still can't get to the bolt. Suggestions??
The master break cylinder is in the engine bay, the bolt is underneath it. You have to get that bolt out so that the hat will be loose and remove the spring/shock assembly..
That t50 bolt is what I can't get to. The cylinder is loose but still won't move far enough to get anything to it. How do most of you guys get it out??

Ahh, my bad, thought you were able to get on it and it wasn't coming loose. It a pain but it took some finesse to get it on there, thought I was going to break the master cylinder.

Loosen the 2 ABS block side bolts/nuts, remove the 2 plastic hardline clamps, then unplug the brake MC sensor, finally carefully pull outward on the brake MC and move it up above the cowl. Yeah it will very slightly bend the 2 hard lines, but it won't cause any other issues. FYI, before reinstalling the brake MC swap the torx head bolt with a with one with a regular six point head.

Verdad Gallardo Ok, I got both sides out, thanks for the info guys. One more quick question though.. Is there a "good" way of aligning the front end back up decently so that maybe my tires won't get to badly ate up on the way to the alignment shop??

Driving to the alignment shop after you have changed to lowering springs in the front won't be a big deal at all. Just don't drive without getting an alignment for a extended period of time you shouldn't have to worry about having any additional wear on the tires.

I removed the master completely. Left the lines tight and connected and it had enough give to pull away from the booster and toward the engine.
Plenty of room. Just have to persuade it
