You can partially pull the engine/trans out, and when the slave is visible,
disconnect it, When you put the assy back in, bleed the clutch, A speed
bleeder works well here.

Subject: [Spridgets] engine pull
Got home
early enough to start on the engine pull. Printed out the list
and hit the
garage.
Pretty much uneventful. Biggest challenge was unbolting the slave
from
the transmission. Finally figured out I was going to have to undo the
top bolt through the little access hole on the passenger side. What a
PITA!
Is there a better way? That cost me a lot of time. Putting it back
in should
be a joy... I'm planning to replace the slave and the hose,
which appears to
be vintage... Bleeding via the access hole looks
challenging as well...
Lots
of little things, like the engine lift wouldn't slide under the
front of the
car without hitting the tie rods. So time lost while
scouting up some 2x6's
to put under the front tires to gain clearance.
Got everything undone, and
went to remove the engine. Came to the
realization pretty quickly that I must
have missed some tranny mounting
bolts. I had removed the two underneath, but
had missed the two inside
the car.
Split the transmission off as well. Looks
like I need a new ring gear too...
It took roughly 3 hours total - not too
bad considering thats the first
time I have ever pulled an engine. I would
say that the engine removal
list was very helpful - thanks to all of you for
helping me flesh that out.
I'm thinking about power washing and degreasing
while the engine is out.
And theres a lot of crud in the tunnel...
