Would it be easier to mount the brake and clutch masters before bolting the pedal mount on? Two of those screws aren't any fun getting to!

Kinda. Some report being able to squeeze the pedals together (the long steel is a little springy) to get them through the hole.

I used a thin-wall 1/4" drive socket and long extension with a chunk of paper in the socket to pinch the nut so it wouldn't fall out as I "offered it up." Less messy than the grease commonly used.

A small magnet and "Axe Man Micky's" advise will also work well.

Got um bolted in. Didn't even have to get my 9 year old to help (my chief mech.). Now I'll bleed them and put plugs in before I mount the whole thing. This is like buying a model car to find no instructions inside, only a little bigger. Piece by piece its turning into a car again..
