Subject:      Clutch slave cyl. removal & more
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

The clutch slave cylinder is mounted on a bracket with two small bolts, and is typically really difficult for me to remove. Access to the rear bolt is especially bad, and they are usually pretty rusty here in Iowa, at least. Does anyone have any really effective tricks to getting this thing off?

On another note, I like it when people advertise their parts for sale on the list, especially when they price them up front--same price for everyone--and actually have the parts they advertise for sale. I think this is an important function the list can fulfill.

One more thing. We see the same issues raised repeatedly, and that's OK, and there are good reasons for this to happen. Is it possible to create a Vanagon "book" that we could all contribute a page or chapter to, that could then build up to be the definitive information source, organized in some logical way, with updates possible. The so-called archives system is clumsy, slow, irritating, and inefficient. If there were a "book" that held our collective contributions, wouldn't that be a better system?

I hope to change the world here.

Chuck Hill, lotsabusses
