    Use DOT 3 brake fluid in the clutch master cylinder reservoir. I use a CalVan One-Man Economy Bleeder to bleed clutch/brake systems. Be careful not to overfill the master cylinder reservoir, which is one of the prime reasons systems fail. Fluid should be changed every 2 years.

    Think of the slave cylinder as a simple brake system. It has to bled and filled in the same way. Best to use a flare nut wrench on these fittings. It's filled with brake fluid. Probably the same DOT # as your master cylinder for your brakes.

    You need to replace the pilot and throwout bearing at the same time.

    The pilot bearing replacement may require an inside bearing puller to get it out.

    The other tool you will need is a clutch alignment tool which usually costs a couple of bucks.

    Next, don't forget to drain the transmission. Usually its filled with 80 wt oil. That's the step I missed when doing this the first time.

    The "Y" pipe is going to be a clearance issue.

    From PM:

    how do you get the slave off does it unscrew or pull out so you think i would have to take the "Y" pipe off is kinda old
    I didn't have your car. My slave cylinder is mounted external to the transmission. All I did was disconnect the hydraulic line and drain the fluid. My slave had a few bolts if I wanted to remove it.
