re
Pulling the pesky slave cylinder bracket: as was mentioned in the post
I trimmed, use a grinder to cut a cheap 13mm box wrench in half. Put
it over the pesky fastener underneath the bracket and stuff the
underside of the bracket with a rag or newspaper. Then it becomes an
easy job, giving you two free hands to unbolt with.

.............any time the slave bracket is off, it works real well to weld
that bolt from the underside to the bracket.
Just  couple of  arc welded tac welds on the bolt head, to the bracket.
From then on that nut and bolt arrangement is a stud with a nut on
it,...........super easy to deal with 'next time.'
A mandotory mod in my world.
