Joe,
I had the same problem as you. The problem is that the body of the m/cyl rises up around the 2 nuts. (They sit in like a little "cave") So it is difficult to get a socket around the nuts because it snags the raised m/cyl body. This problem is compounded by the fact that the nuts are the type with the rounded edges on the exposed side so the socket has even less room to grip. I ended up getting one off with mole grips. The other was too tight for this so what I was going to do was grind down the socket on a bench grinder to make it thinner at the end so it would fit between the nut and the raised m/cylinder body. You could try this. In the end I discovered the problem was not with the m/cyl at all but with the rubber pipe being bunged up so I didn't need to remove the m/cyl.
