Just replaced my master clutch cylinder.PITA! Had the same problem(free play). The easiest way is to open brake bleeder and push brake pedal down and hold it with some piece of wood wedged against the seat. This will allow better access to adjustment. The locknut is 15MM, use deep socket to release it and adjust rod as needed so there is no play. Of course the only access is from below... Leon 85 Subwagen Cruiseship
