External clutch slave cylinder replacement

[jaekl]

After 23 1/2 years my clutch slave started to leak on my 86 2.5l. I replace the internal on on my 88 a couple of years back and thought this one would be a piece of cake. It ended up not being bad at all, but reaching the upper bolt looked like a show stopper. I ended up reaching over the top of the trans with a combination wrench. However, the wrench can not be rotated enough to get another notch, so I had to alternate with a different wrench. Luckily, they were not overly tight.

 

Is there another way to remove the slave without removing the trans, of course?

Thanks

one way is get a very long extension and universal joint. or you could do what I did.

is it just the 2 nuts you see there that need removed? then bleed the line through th bleeder I see?

 

almost would be worth it to cut a little trapdoor out!
