Answer
The job is such a royal pain in the you know what, that we used to overhaul the master cylinder right in the chassis back in the day. The recommended procedure to remove the master cylinder is to remove the floor boards and work from the top. The flat rate time was 3.5 hours to remove and replace the master cylinder. In other words there ain't no easy way round it.
