First off I have searched this forum and Googled and found no very useful information regaurding this information....
This weekend I am going to replace my clutch and slave cylinder. From what I can tell the slave is leaking fluid on the clutch and causing it to slip. I think this because the master cylinder has nearly run out, the clutch slips and produces no burning clutch smells besides burning brake fluid..
All in all it looks like a pain in the ass to remove the transmission on this 4.0 4x4 manual so I am replacing the slave, entire clutch kit, and flywheel while I have it apart. My concern is that the exhaust is very close to the bellhousing.. Does the exhaust need to be removed past the headers. I can see the bolts, but theyre so rusty they dont even look like bolts any more.
Also.... I assume with my luck the rear main crank seal should be replaced. A co worker said he has a used a curved pick to pull the seal out. Should this method work without damaging anything if I am careful?
