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

Mike,
    I've changed slave cylinders while the car was on rear wheel ramps. You
need to be on your back and you have to wrap your arms around the
transmission to locate the bolts to remove them. You can see the side of the
slave from the drivers side of the car if you get the right angle while
you're underneath it. Just follow the metal clutch line from the top of the
transmission and you'll see it. Remove that line first. Then use your hands
to feel around to locate the bolts. Then use your hands to put the socket
wrench on the bolts and begin loosening. You'll get it!

Subject: Slave Cylinder-What's the best way to tackle this?

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!
Thanks,
Mike
