Subject:Clutch slave cyl. removal & more
From:Chuck Hill
Date:Sun, 8 Jul 2001 07:06:19 -0500

The clutch slave cylinder is mounted on a bracket with two small bolts,
and is typically really difficult for me to remove.  Access to the rear
bolt is especially bad, and they are usually pretty rusty here in Iowa,
at least.  Does anyone have any really effective tricks to getting this
thing off?

On another note, I like it when people advertise their parts for sale on
the list, especially when they price them up front--same price for
everyone--and actually have the parts they advertise for sale.  I think
this is an important function the list can fulfill.

One more thing.  We see the same issues raised repeatedly, and that's
OK, and there are good reasons for this to happen.  Is it possible to
create a Vanagon "book" that we could all contribute a page or chapter
to, that could then build up to be the definitive information source,
organized in some logical way, with updates possible.  The so-called
archives system is clumsy, slow, irritating, and inefficient.  If there
were a "book" that held our collective contributions, wouldn't that be a
better system?

I hope to change the world here.

Chuck Hill, lotsabusses
