Thanks, Miquel. I should have been clearer. I'm following the Bentley, and this is a syncro so I've got the mount bolts of and the engine is slanting down the recommended amount (lowered 6" at the rear flange) plus a little more. The problem is getting access to the bolt at the back of the slave bracket, which is actually up inside the bracket and I can't really get to it on the underneath side while the slave itself is in place. The top -where the nut is - isnt that much easier, either. I've got the cooling hoses disconnected from the bellhousing of course, but there is little real room to move a wrench back there. Maybe a ratchet box 13mm would work, I dunno cause I don't have one, but even then I'm afraid there isn't clearance for one because of the closeness of the body of the slave cylinder. thanks again Tom F. --- Miguel Pacheco <escorpion1955@YAHOO.COM> wrote: > Tom, I've done this and I recall using the same > method as I use to change a > Syncro Starter, i.e. I raise the engine with a jack > and block, remove engine > carrier nuts, remove tranny mount bolts and slowly > lower engine with jack > until everything is more accesible.
