It's a dirty job but...

Taking advantage of the covid lull I decided to re-do the Fox hydraulics. The slave cylinders at the rear are accessible but the masters for the accelerator and clutch are a brute to get to. Later Fox let you remove just the front armour but early ones like mine require the entire toe board tub to come off, along with the dash, steering wheel, parking brake and associated panels and brackets. There are 21 1/2" round head slot countersunk screws with nuts on the inside that require a human pretzel to get at.

It's all back together now, many thanks to my wife who inserted all those 21 screws and patiently waited for me to catch a nut and lock washer on each.

Here's pics of the tub on the ground, a peak inside the clutch master and all four cylinders back from the shop.

Good Lord, Bruce!

It’s like disassembling the front of a Dodge Journey to replace a battery!
