    Hey gang, I've read my Haynes manual (makes it sound easy) and searched here but came up empty. Does anyone have any tip for master cylinder removal on the '81 Seca 750? I've removed the wiring, solid pipe, and 2 mounting bolts, but the ear the top bolt mounts to really seems to impede removal. Looks like it might could slide forward, but I can't get it without excess force. Tips? Tricks? Do I have to somehow surgically remove the reservoir first? Haynes seems to suggest no.

    Thanks in advance.

    Sorry, after messing with this for over an hour, I posted this then went back out to try again. Turned the steering hear hard right (a bit counter-intuitive, I'd tried hard-left prior) and was able to wiggle it out! Leaving this here in case anyone else looks for it.
