replacing master cylinder - tool question
I'm replacing the master cylinder on my '69 911E. the workshop manual specifies a torque value for the retaining nuts at the flange. however, there's not enough clearance for my torque wrench with socket to reach in there. is there a trick to this? is there a low-clearance torque wrench I should be using, perhaps something like a ratchet-action box end torque wrench (haven't seen such a thing, but it seems like a good idea, and would really do the trick here)?

box end wrench. just do it by hand. you know what's tight.

Have fun getting the MC feed lines hooked up. That was a royal PITA.

attach the feed lines before tightening up the above nuts, or you won't be able to get the rearmost one into the grommet in the M/C. i grab them with needlenose visegrips and pull and twist until they seat.

thanks for the pointer -- I spent about 25 mins trying to get them in -- didn't look like it would be difficult, but it was really sort of a *****!
