Subject:Re: Clutch slave r+r from bracket: What Works?

Last year I replaced the clutch slave in my Sycnro without lowering the engine.

If I recall correctly, I used a 12pt 13mm box wrench (cut in half)
and a 13mm "crow foot" 3/8 drive on a ratchet with 3" extension
and/or universal joint.  It was hard to keep the wrench on the bolt
inside the mounting bracket...wish I would have thought of the garden
hose idea...

It took me almost 3 hours of futzing around, but I did get the old
one out and the new one in.  Next time I'll lower the engine...
