Guys, my clutch master cylinder has a bad leak, the clutch is soft as shit when I push it down, so I am trying to remove it so put my new PBR one in. Question 1, are the main bolts on the otherside of the firewall behind my gauge cluster (RHD) and be how hard are they to get to.

tools: get a 12mm deep well socket and two 6 inch extension and a universal in 3/8's (and ratchet) also a screw driver for the interior. also a 10mm line wrench and a vice grip just in case of the clutch line being frozen
step 1: loosen the clutch line from the cylinder
step 2: remove interior piece below the steering wheel
step 3: remove pin and cotter key
step 4: locate the 2 12mm bolts. one is easy to see the other is in the top left corner. remove the top bolt with socket, extension, universal, extension and the ratchet in that order .
step 5: R&R then go about bleeding the whole set up like brakes.
step 6: adjust the clutch. there is a 12 nut on the back of the clutch MC loosen the nut and spin in the head of the attachment.
step 7: install interior.

i had to use a 14mm stocket for the bolt on the upper left, and a 12mm socket for the bottom right... it was SUPER easy to change though.
you guys obviously can't read. He is in Australia, which means he has a RHD vehicle, so, the clutch master is at the centre of the car. It should unbolt from the inside, but since I've never seen one, no guarantees from me.
Would it not still be connected to the clutch pedal no matter where that pedal is located? Besides, I didn't think Aussie cars were RHD. But Yes, if their pedals in a RHD car are set up the same as ours (clutch, brake, gas L to R), the clutch would be closer to the middle of the car.
