Re: [DML] Slave Cylinder-What's the best way to tackle this?

["Joseph Molino" <foxmul@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I just tackled this seemingly impossible job.  It took small hands ( I have
big ape hands) and patience.  First take off the louvers and the engine
cover and tackle this from above.  Remove the 2 bolts that attach the slave
cylinder and then CAREFULLY remove the pipe the slave is attached to.  I
twisted mine and I had to buy another one.  Then you may have to pry the
clutch fork open a bit to get the slave out.  Then reverse the process and
bleed.  I got my slave from Grady and it was a little beefier than the
original.  I was very happy with it.  Harold M., I owe a lot of thanks
because he helped me bleed it properly.  I still had air in the system. Hope
this helps

> Hi gang,
> I'm trying to replace the slave cylinder on my car and I can't for the
life of me figure out how to get to it.  After putting the car on stands and
crawling around for 30 minutes underneath it I realized that I could not
access it like the shop manual seems to indicate.  From above I can put my
hand on the rubber boot but can't seem to see a thing since it's down there
a bit.  So I'm once again turning to the experts here in the group for some
much needed advice-just how do you get to this darn thing?  My old one is
definitely leaking fluid as the boot is wet as well as fluid having dripped
onto the transmission.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!
