Tips/Tricks for Replacing Clutch Master Cylinder on 2001

Anyone replaced their clutch master cylinder. The lower bolt is impossible to get to. I have tried every wrench, socket, flex extension, etc I've seen from auto stores, Sears, etc. and no dice. Anyone solve this issue. Help appreciated.

Somebody must have replaced their own clutch master cylinder. The lower nut is almost impossible to get to. Please any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I've already done the search. This post says nothing about replacing the clutch master cylinder. I've already pulled the trans, replaced the the clutch disc, pressure plate, TOB, slave cylinder, flex line, bleed the line. I need to replace the clutch master cylinder and can't get to the lower nut. Anyone!

I'd done the clutch master on a 4th gen. You'll need a combination of small extensions and ratchet knuckles to get in there and a ton of patience. Also be sure to bench bleed the new clutch master.
