Default replacing the master brake cylinder

hi,

I am replacing the master brake cylinder and I have an issue removing the nut that holds it to the booster. The first (20mm?) nut (from the drivers side) is fairly accessible with a wrench, but the other nut (seems like 22mm) is hard to reach, there not a lot of room to work.

Do I need to remove other parts to get access? What tool(s) did you use? I figured if I can get the brake reservoir off it would be easier but I can't figure out how to get it off as again there is no room to work. There is this metal bracket that is in the way.

HELP!
Arthur

Think I figured it out. One has to remove the tower brace in order to remove the reservoir, then the master brake cylinder can be removed.
