Default Master Cylinder install question

Hey all,

I pulled out my old MC for the disc conversion I'm doing. It was kind of a pain to get that cotter pin that was holding the pedal, loose. When I go to put the new MC in, I'm trying to figure out how in the heck and am I going to get that pin back in there. I was thinking I could remove the steering column, but I'm not sure if that is something I want to do. Anyone have any suggestions? thanks

Not trying to be a wise-a_s but it goes in just like it came out. Take a pair of needle nose pliers and hold the clip once in the hole push her home. It's not necessary to pull that column down.

There is no way to do it easy. Just one of those things that sucks to do.

You'll get it, you just have to pretend you are a contortionist. And be sure to use a new cotter pin. Just my $.02
