Protege5 Master cylinder removal questions

[c0okiecrisps]

Hello,

I had my clutch stick to the floor a about a week ago when I drove from ATL to Catalooche, NC to snowboard (lol2)

on the way back i lost pressure to the clutch pedal. I started the car while it was in 2nd gear and drove all the way back to atlanta shifting without the clutch.

I found out that I had a busted rubber/braided hose going from my clutch master cylinder to the slave. I ordered a new slave, hose as well as a master cylinder.

I have replaced the slave and the hose.

I Cannot get the master cylinder out of the firewall. I removed a bolt as per the FLOPTICAL P5 Guide (http://www.floptical.net/mazda/service_web/05-10.PDF)

can anyone please tell me how to get the master cylinder out so that I can replace it? is there a bolt behind the fire wall?
do i need to remove the dashboard?
am I over thinking this?
I have tried searching on the forum for hours. I need to replace this asap!

there is 1 under the dash at the top and don't forget the clevis pin at the clutch pedal.

thank you..that bolt is at the most inconvenient position. took me half an hour to figure out how to position myself...

hah. but i have successfully swapped the slave and master cylinders..time for a fluid flush.

@c0okiecrisps Where is that nut or bolt under the dash?
