You can remove a Beetle master cylinder from the car, but it's not really attached to the pedal. The actuator is a rod connected to the pedal that pushes against a diaphragm in the master cylinder... Anyway, here's whatcha do. Start by looking at your brake pedal arm. You'll see the clevis with the brake actuating pin attached. If you're lucky there's a circlip holding it on. Remove the circlip, then the clevis. Or just the clevis, if the previous owner lost the circlip and didn't replace it. (Which, on a car that's thirty to forty years old, happens.) This gives you better access to the two bolts that hold the MC to the firewall. Remove them. Next, crawl under the left front of your car, put a pan under the master cylinder, and remove the brake lines, the brake light switch connectors, and the hoses leading to the reservoir. Once all that's free, the MC just pulls right out.
