I would seem that my clutch slave cylinder on my 81 Air Cooled is on the way out, and so I searched the archives and came away with the idea that its gonna be a major PITA to get at one of the bolts to remove it. I am not one to want to make custom wrenches, and only occasionally have anyone who will help out from the top side. Is it that hard to bend the tin and get at it from the engine compartment, and does that angle of attack get me everything, or is it mostly beneath, and the top for the one ugly bolt? The master cylinder was done maybe 25K miles ago, so I don't think there is any need to mess with it, plus its darn cold around here, so it may be a good idea, but I will leave it alone for now. Does anyone have any hints or suggestions to add to what is already archived. Any secrets to getting at the hated bolt towards the front? Are there two, or three of these bolts? Obviously, its not my daily driver, so I have time to learn and get my mind set to do it.
Always in your debt for the assistance, John |
