Clutch slave replacement

[Denis]

I remove the tranny, i lovee it ;-) 016.

Denis Julien

ps after years of dust , that fffff pin and that ff cylinder is almost weld
there. You have to take all your cells to work on it . Best way i foound to
get there is by the engine bay. Release suspension member screws , jack the
front lett the tranny and engine fall a little then get more acces to the
cylinder.For the next time i ll machine a bolts like pin and tap treads on
the tranny block.
