I have a MK4 with the Wilwood pedal assembly. I have a bad front brake master cylinder that needs replacing. I have removed the inlet hose, front brake line and 2 nuts that attach the MC to the pedal box frame. My question is how do I remove the MC from the balance bar assembly? At this point, the MC will not budge from the frame. How do I unthread the push Rod from the balance bar assembly without damaging anything?

To make this a bit more clear I added a word, "Loosen the jam nut,pull the rubber boot back and twist the mc shaft out of the balance bar CLEVIS"
