Default Replacing master cylinder in A6

Why oh why does Audi make thing way tougher than they really need to be. got most of the juice out and the reservoir off with little issues.

Then the fun begins, upper torx bolt no problem , damn thing is like 6 inches long though ... can't even get to the lower one with a torx bit due to metal work . Have to take the damn strut bar out .. and of course there is one bolt on the river s side of the firewall that you can't reach barely.. after tha is out you can take the whole bar off .. sort of .. still can't got to the lower one with a bit so out come the vice grips ..worked fine ,, except theat bolt wont come out becaue of firewall,, have to rotate whole mc over spilling fluid everywhere to get the bolt out.. get that out , not you have to get two big *** nuts off without the Mc fastened down .. grrrr........
finally wrestle those off anf get the mc ou ...

why does Audi make things so damn hard....
anyway I hope I am changing the right part .. foot goes right to the floor without any corruption of the system .. I am thinking the seals are bad ..

end of rant ..

Not much is easy on an Audi, but I promise you our BMW is just as bad. The easiest car I have ever worked on was my 70 Chevy Nova. That thing had a huge engine bay with a tiny engine.
