    I'm in the middle of removing the transmission and got stuck on this bracket.

    It's on the driver side, it holds the hard line from the Clutch Master Cylinder to accumulator. There is not a good way to remove 12mm bolt holding the bracket.

    I have already separated the accumulator and slave cylinder from the transmission housing.

    You might be able to sneak in there with an offset head wrench.

    If you don't have one ready made you can take a cheap wrench and heat it up red with a propane plumbers torch and bend it how you need. They bend easy with a vice and small hammer.

    (just don't use a wrench from your Snap On set ;) )

    Did that part already, it's just very tight, specially doing it with the truck on jack stands.
    Finally got the bolt out, busted it loose with a flex head ratchet but turning it was very difficult. There are still some wiring harnesses on the top and passenger side needed to get removed before I can drop the trans out.

    Had to call it the night, I'm beat.
