Brandon,

the clutch master cylinder is a pretty easy job that you can do yourself if 
you don't really want to spend the money to have someone else do it!

simple - remove both access panels inside the passenger compartment on the 
driver's side. remove left front wheel. unscrew metal pipe from the clutch 
master on the top passenger side of it. then just get in there with a couple 
of wrenches and take the two big nuts off of the bolts that hold it into the 
''firewall'. you may need someone else to get a wrench on the bolts on the 
inside sideways to keep them from turning as you turn the nut. that's the 
hardest part of this job... once the nuts are off, put your new clutch master 
in, put the nuts on, put the metal line back on, then bleed the cluch system, 
and you are good to go!!!!! should take about 2 hours at the most.

did you get the rebuilt and upgraded master cylinder from Grady with the 
stainless steel piston and teflon?

if you have any other questions about replacement, shoot me an email.
