I recall the clutch mastercylinder on my '85 car having a captive pushrod. In any case, I'd suggest at least rebuilding the master cylinder, given the amount of work needed to access it. On my '85 car it was a sized master that had caused the pedal to bend, the slave was free. Likewise with the servo, have a good look inside at the diaphragm and ideally check it for vacuum leaks.
Thanks Andrew, it did not look like it would pass without dropping the steering column or removing the wheel. Once the wheel had been released with the puller, it is a 2 minute job to remove the wheel. Cheers!
I'm just about to do this job, do thanks for putting this video together
Thanks Dan, let me know if you need any advice with anything.

Once again, thanks for your expert advice Paul.... I will certainly check both components, cheers, Neil.
@@neildonaldsonlotusexcelresto Checked my '85 master cylinder. Pushrod is retained by a dished washer and a spring clip (those can rust through).
You don't need to remove the steering wheel to get the instruments out.

That was a nasty looking job, ball ache and some!
It was a bit awkward at times Karl, but I took it step by step and got it done.
