I loosen the servo, that gave me enough clearence to remove clutch m/c and
pipe together.
I still couldn't get the darn pipe of with my taiwan box wrench; i had to
take it to a local
garage where they had a nice snap-on box wrench that did the job.
I also replaced the slave cylinder.
After I bleed them, I was surprised by how much more peddle pressure i had.
Nothing like new equipment.
back on the road after two days off
thanks
