Stuck master cylinder

[Colo Dean]

As the title says, I am trying to remove the master cylinder from the firewall on my '74 CJ5 . Removed the two nuts holding it to the firewall and the rod that connects to the brake pedal is firmly attached. Every master cylinder I have seen the rod is separate. It it just maybe stuck or rusted to it or is the rod part of it? Tried to turn it a small amount and it doesn't seem to budge. Don't want to break anything. Brakes are drum/drum if that makes any difference. Appreciate any help getting this off.

Thanks!

It stays on the Master Cylinder. Remove the clip holding the piston rod on the pedal. depress the brake pedal wiggle and turn the master cylinder rod and it will come off. You might need to try a few combinations od wiggle and turn, but have faith. Don't forget the plastic bushing inside the banjo rod.

Much appreciated. Hoping come payday to order the factory service manual so I don't have to ask so many dumb questions.

I had to remove a coder pin holding the pedal to the rod. Just took a little wiggling and it came right out
