Be careful not to lose any bits in the foot well or carpets - the spring clip and the plastic bushes/spring in the clutch pedal pivot can go walkabout during this operation. You do not really need to remove the pedal to remove the master cylinder, but if you do, grease the pedal shaft with some LM grease to stop clutch pedal squeaks.

thank you. I was getting myself into a bit of a state with a scratched left hand and not being able to get at the bolts. I have now made " the official
Rover 75 CDTI Tourer clutch master cylinder removal tool" A cut down and ground down allan key to fit in the 1/4 square hole of an 8mm socket. Selotaped the two together and slid the ring end of an 8mm spanner over the allan key. This allows me to locate the socket on the bolt and undo it.
It's only a removal tool, heaven knows how I'll refit it and this task is best done by a gymnast. Bent all ways, not a good idea at my age
