The ratcheting box-end wrenches you can get in hardware stores these days
are a Good Thing.  I haven't had to do a slave cylinder yet, but I've
found them handy for other jobs.  A lot of them have very fine toothed
ratchets that are great for areas where you don't have much room to swing
the wrench.
