You can pull the thing out in about 10 minutes if you want a real look at it. There are six bolts that hold the entire dual pedal assy up under the dash. Just pull them out, pop the brake pedal pin, twist the switches out, and disconnect the hose at the brake master cylinder reservoir on the other side of the firewall and the whole assy pulls right out. I've installed a couple on auto to manny tranny swaps and was pleasantly surprized at how smooth that part went.
The cylinder is attached to the pedal assy and it may come out without even going the route I described. When you order the pedal assy it comes with the cylinder already attached.....never got that close of a look at it.
