I think I will drill and tap the SAE flange on the master cylinder so the bolts can be accessed readily in future. I first tried Dave's recommendation of a ring spanner up into the pedal box. Would have been fine if the inaccessible nut on the other end didn't turn. Hence the idea of drilling and tapping the flange.
    you put the ring spanned on from inside the clutch pedal, the other you get to with a 1/4 inch drivfe or 3/8th drive socket.

    My clutch had a horrid squeak and no amount of grease solved it, the result was a grotty master cylinder barrel.

    Cheers, Mick.
    Thanks Mick - will definitely have a look at that too. Thing is, the master cylinder is brand new so I'd be surprised if that's it. I think it was just sitting for too long and needs to be stripped, cleaned/polished and greased. I've has squeeky pedals before, but nothing like this.

    It should be done pretty easily without removing the pedal box. I know that as
    I changed mine a few years back and remember it being really quick to do.
    Think I did something like Blknight said, but cant really remember - not much help I know, but I didnt really know what I was doing and it turned out ok (or maybe it was just one of those days when for once things just go right)

    It's always good to grab a few cheap individual common size sockets when you see them out on special. Then when you have a need to knock up a special tool for a job you can weld a bit of 5/16" rod or a bit of 1/2 x 1/8 flat onto it and bend it into the required shape to suit the situation.

    Cheers, Mick.
