Patrick,
Before you take the slave cylinder off the car, try to break the bleeder
screw loose, then just snug it back up. Next remove the slave cylinder (SC),
remove the clip in the bore, and remove the washer and actuating arm.
Turn the reg. on the compressor down to about 5psi. Using a blow down
nossle on the air hose, hold the blow down tip against the hole from the
hydrolic pipe that goes to the Master Cylinder. Hold the SC infront of
something like a 2x4. Give a short blast of air. BE VERY CAREFUL as
this will cause the piston to shoot out. If you aren,t set up to stop
it, it will/can shoot all over your garage. You can either loose the
piston, or damage it, if it goes flying around the shop.

Take your old belt, and measure the length and width. Then go back to the
auto parts store, and ask for a belt with those dimensions. You might want
to take the old belt with you. When they ask what it is from, tell them
you don't know, your dad, a freind, or boss just told you to go get one.
