Brake master cylinder question.

Well I cant get anything for a wrench in the engine compartment to remove the brake lines from the bottom of the master, that feed the distribution block that my car has for some reason. And I still cant get the fittings out of the bottom of it. My question is, Can I take the master apart some how, like remove the front part of it, with the lines and block hanging form it so I can work on it? or do I have to remove the whole thing? If I have to remove the whole thing, Will it ruin anything, and is it difficult/ what are things I should look out for??
Thanks guys!


I am talking about the section that sits in front of the reservoir, can that part alone come off?

Not sure if any one on here can help me, but just seeing If I can get some advice! Car is looking sweet, but still doesnt stop so I need to fix that hahaha

it looks like if you unbolt your a/c compressor and move it out of the way and maybe pull the plenum it might give you the room you need?
are you talking about the short lines from the master to the block or the lines under the block?

well originally I meant the lines under the block, but I striped them, so now I was trying to get the top lines out, and I cant get a wrench on them, cause once I get the block out i can use some vice grips on the fittings.
Never thought about pulling the plenum, which I need to do to replace V/C gaskets.... Huum maybe.
