Wish I had though of that, sounds much easier than removing the cat then bell housing to get the slave cylinder out without damaging/removing the line and then backbleeding by pushing the slave pushrod back into its bore.

gibson36, you can see the slave cylinder in this photo, as viewed from the passenger side. The slave cylinder is just opposite the starter, you can see the bleeder screw on it.
