did you remove the O/S drive shaft before unbolting the gear box,

i usualy leave the slave cylinder conected to its pipe and just move it out of the way,

regards malcolm

Ron, out of interest how did you disconnect the pipe to the Slave cylinder?

I guess if you've fixed the leak you found the specially shaped O ring was out of place...

How did you end up bleeding it?
