Finally got some sense into my head...after having spent way too much time pumping air down and out through the slave - to fill the Motive with brake fluid! After this it worked like a charm!
Yup...I'd been using the Motive dry - which works fine for brakes as long as the reservoir level is frequently checked. My thinking had also been that using the Motive dry would somehow keep it "fresher." Jeesh....no more - I'm always going to run it wet from now on! Just a little rinse with Alcohol afterwards and it good to go.
Oh...and that O2 sensor? After having been filled with dread from so many videos laying out all sorts of horror stories...the thing basically just came out! Sawed it off and used a breaker with a 22mm multi-point...a bit of PB blaster, and while it did take a bit of working back and forth, it eventually came out without heat.
Two out of three ain't bad...as my luck ended when I cracked that plastic cup-bushing as I was prying it off of the ball at the bottom of my gearshift - probably a blessing in disguise as I shouldn't trust such a highly stressed, 35 year old piece of plastic.
