Default spring install question

Ok i went to do my springs today but ran into a problem. I was moving along got both wheels off, strut tower brace, detached both spindles and went to take the drivers side shock off. undid all the bolts then the one t50 torq bite and then saw i couldnt get the other so i loosened up the master cylinder so i could wiggle it but still couldnt get the t50 sock in there with a swivel socket mini extension. . So needless to say 1 and a half to get that far and put everything back togther .
So whats the trick to getting that t50 bolt out!

Pull the master cylinder forward off of the studs and push it up out of the way a bit. It worked for me just getting it off the outboard stud and rotating it upwards a bit. Good luck.

I loosened both bolts on the master cylinder and lifted it up just enough to squeeze a socket wrench under it with the t50 socket bit on it. It was really tight and a huge pain in the ***, but it did work.

You can slide the MC off of the two bolts to the side. I tried to sneak it underneath and just stripped the socket hole. I had to cut the bolt off after that. Pain in the ***.
