Pedal assembly help needed.

[MK1Scirocco16v at comcast.net (Dave Ewing)]

Actually you don't have to remove the master cylinder, only the master and
booster assembled.  You bend it out of the way (carefully not to kink any
brake lines) then pull off the bracket behind the booster.  Once you remove
the booster (using small, short wrenches and spinning the nuts off by hand
as they aren't lock nuts but have lock washers if I remember correctly) you
can get at the nuts that hold the bracket on with a ratchet and extension.
You can take the master off but it isn't going to give you that much more
room as you don't really need more room in the engine compartment as your
just removing nuts off the bracket/pedal assy combination which, again, are
accessible with a ratchet after the booster is removed.  If you NEED a
master now would be a good time to do it but you could spend about $500 or
so replacing everything you touch doing this job!

It would be a good time to replace your master cylinder if you need one or
have never done it on that car - removing it makes access to the firewall
bolts a piece of cake.

Also, you could take your driver's seat out, put some kind of pillow over
the seat adjustment metalwork so you can lay flat and work on it from
below - it's a just a bit more aesthetically feasible to work that way than
on your knees...

Oh - and replace your throttle cable bushing while you're down there - best
cheap upgrade ever!

remove it in order to weld it back on (or just get a new assembly). Thanks!
