Re: [AMC-list] Need help with master cylinder removal 1965 American, non power brakes...

It comes off the pedal and if the new one doesn't have a rod, undo the clip holding the innards to the master cyl and it pulls out. They used to make them so they pulled out, but they discovered that if you had to pump fast and the master stuck down you couldn't get pedal back fast enough to recover.

Good Morning All, 
?
I need to replace the master cylinder on my 1965 American.? I have replaced numerous master cylinders over the years but non with manual brakes, and am a bit baffled here.
?
I performed the standard removal procedure but have never encountered the connecting rod that my car has, which?is attached?the the piston end of the master cylinder and runs through the firewall to, I'm assuming the brake pedal assembly.? At which end does this assembly com apart ?? It would appear that the connecting rod assembly should come out through the firewall side while still attached to the master cylinder itself but the TSM? only shows an exploded view of the assembly but does not point to it's proper disassembly, also, once removed from the vehicle, how does the assembly separate from the master cylinder itself ?
?
Thanks in advance for any help given,,,
?
Bill
