FW: Clutch Slave Cylinder 86 GT

[ed armstrong]

I posted a procedure to do the clutch slave in a Coupe
Gt. Search the archives.

The key was to get the correct sized punch to remove
the roll pin (don't remember the size off hand). Some
heat on the clutch slave assembley with a torch helped
to break the slave from the tranny. I remember banging
alot with a long extension of piece of wood. Good
luck.
