Default Re: Clutch slave install tips

What i did was jack up the drivers side at the jacking point. Remove wheel, get a long extension with a small allen tip or something the size of the pin that holds the slave cylinder in. Look for a retaining wire for that pin and remove it. Tap the pin out towards the passenger side. You may have to pry the slave cyl out towards the rear of the car. It may or may not be easier to undo and reinstall the hose with slave removed, I don't know. My whole engine was out when I did mine. I bled mine with it in and just used gravity to get it done. Had to cut my 7/8mm offset box end wrench to make it work, tho. 1000 miles and no problems.
