How to Replace the Master Brake Cylinder on 2006 HHR
Has anyone had to replace the master brake cylinder on a 2006 HHR? How do you remove/replace the fuse box that sits in front of the master brake cylinder? You can't get to the master brake cylinder bolts or the brake lines without first removing the fuse box. Please help.

And use what's called a Flare Nut Wrench, because if you round off a brake line fitting, you're day will go straight into the "can't possibly suck anymore" catagory.
You can pick up a decent set of Flare Nut Wrenches at Harbor Freight in both SAE and Metric for less than $40.
And Don is correct, you'll need to move/remove the fuse box to gain access thank to the HHR's 10lbs in a 5lb sack underhood layout.

I recently moved my fusebox on my 2006 so I could remove the engine.
From what I remember, there are two vertical studs sticking out of the inner fender , you have to remove the nuts.
Then you remove the ECM/TCM which is in front of the fuse box. This allows you access to the 2 (or 3) bolts under the fuse box behind where the ECM was.
Then you can move the fuse box. You can't move it a lot, because the wiring harnesses still limit travel. You may have to remove the + and - cables at the top corners of the fuse box.
