[s-cars] Clutch slave dilemma

[CLAG500 at aol.com]

Getting that bolt started is a real pain. You have to push against the  
cylinder to get the hole lined up. I would suggest finding a replacement bolt  
with a non-threaded section on the end to get it started. 
 
I think we ground down the threads on mine when I did a clutch swap on the  
ground about 8 years ago. Might not be as hard with a new slave as I was 
doing  this to keep from opening the hydro system while the trans was out.

It's bolted in with a 8mm (13mm  wrench) bolt.  It's not easy to get up 
there without driveshaft/heat  shield removal, but it certainly can be done on 
the car, on the ground.   Loosen the line first, then go at the retaining 
bolt.  There is a recess  where the bolt hole is lined up, if it's not aligned 
you can strip the threads  in the trans, btst.
