Hi Gmac how is it going,
Great advice form the rest of the guys.
Slave cylinder is ok just a bit of a stretch.
Master cylinder, I would ask you to consider removing the pedal box and disconnecting the brake linkage and removing the pedal box from the car, removing the master cylinder and refitting it and then replace the pedal box, more advice, make sure the drivers side door is open fully before you lift the car on the two post lift as this will aid access to get into the foot well area, its just a bugger when the car is up in the air and need to come off the lift to open the door fully, after removing the under dash tray that has the ECU attached to it you will get a better view of the access problem, you may also need to remove the drivers seat, again for access.
