I made it all the way to this step this evening.

I started earlier with removal and replacement of the clutch master cylinder- tons of fun all by itself.

Then I got the slave cylinder out and got "this close" to getting that dang bolt started.

I had mostly worn myself out before searching for a thread on it. At this point I have the bleeder valve open, white lithium grease on the tip of the pusher, uh, quick question:

We leave the rubber thing on right?

Anyway, lithium on the tip of the pusher, and around the lip of the bellows where it goes in. Seems to plug right in. There's essentially no fluid left in the system right now but bleeder is open anyway.

It's just fighting that spring pressure and getting the last little bit. Then pressure bleed and hope all is well in clutch land for a while.
