Help?! How do I remove clutch master cylinder? Options

[GriffGirl]

It appears my clutch master cylinder went out. I've replaced the slave cylinder already, so that leaves the MC which I believe is back-bleeding; can somebody point me in the direction of where I might find removal instructions? Or give me a rundown on how to remove the MC? I'm picking up a new one today and intend/hope to install it tomorrow.

Thanks!

I will hold on to the belief about the hydraulic system only because I need to somehow console myself for spending $100 that I didn't really have on parts I didn't really need. Although doing the clutch myself and saving the cost of labor is more than enough consolation - overspending $100 but saving myself another $400 by doing it myself definitely helps

I drove the car to work this morning! It runs, well... fabulously. The clutch pedal feels very different than it did before, almost to the point that I thought something was wrong with it last night when I test drove it. It goes in MUCH easier now than it did before. It's a LOT smoother... I checked the pedal play and it's right, and it feels right, so it's not that or anything. I think it's just having fresh fluid in the line, basically a new hydraulic system, and a new clutch is all new to me. I've never had a new clutch before - this is the first car I've ever had to replace a clutch on.

I will also sing high praises of Penzoil Synchromesh. The difference between how my car shifts now and how my car shifted before is remarkable. It's so smooth, it virtually glides into gear. Reverse has never been such a joy! LOL

Thanks all of you guys for all your help and tips and advice and for putting up with my obsessive posts. Hopefully it'll be a long time before I need to solicit any actual mechanical help again.... 239,000 miles and going strong!
