Volvo 850 can anybody explain exactly how to disconnect the clutch pedal control arm?

Replacing the clutch master cylinder. A bil complex but pretty straight forward except for the clutch control arm at the pedal.
Is there a clip on it? Pin through it? RSPI has a You Tube on the pedals, but gets to that part in the video and says I already removed that part—no explanation and I couldn't find it anywhere else.

It slips over a pin on the clutch pedal arm, and there is a clip that secures it.

The circlip holding the clutch line in can be tough, see hints on that in my Elizabeth maintemamce record 2025 November

Ok, thanks! That makes sense, I couldn't map it with my finger tip!
Does the complete bracket need to be loose to remove the cylinder mount nuts?
Onward and upward.

I just remember it was really tough working in there. Can’t remember the details.
