Re. pics of 90q tranny and slave cylinder - removal

[Ben Swann]

Not much room to swing a hammer there.  Use of air chisel with blunt end to drive a
dowel with exact diameter then roll-pin helps.  Just be sure it is exactly the size of
roll-pin.  Too large will split the retainer, and too small will get the pin stuck in
worse.  Just right and Blatt - it's out of there!

You don't have to remove the tranny to do it.  However, you need to be a bit of an
acrobat.  It's hard to put both hands in there.  If you remove the front driver-side
wheel, you will be able to access the holding bolt with a long extension.  

The key will be not to break the bleeding nipple/fluid hose, they tend to be rusted
pretty solidly in place.  I replaced both master and slave a few years back, it took me
most of the day and a lot of swearing.  You may also need to reverse bleed it after, air
bubbles tend to persist in the coils for a long time.
Good luck;

Hi,I'm needing pics of the tranny with the slave on the top to help in the replacement
of mine. Mine is a 1988 90q 10v. We'd rather not pull the whole tranny if we don't have
to.

Thanks,
