Wait until you pull the clutch pushrod out of its crappy plastic clip on the clutch fork, and then tell me that’s a bad idea

I have often wondered why there isn’t a fist sized inspection plate just there!

I used a plastic tie and changed the slave cylinder without issue

That's going to need a big wading plug.

would be better to drill holes in each corner then cut,as is casing can crack/fracture from corners to easy.

What I do is fit the clip on the rod then slide a piece of rubber pipe over the rod and put a couple of cable ties tight on the rod to hold the pipe in place(cables ties aren't essential as you need to hold the tube anyway just stops it moving). If you then use a pair of right angle external circuit pliers you can use them to spread the clip and use the pipe/rod to push it in place. It does help to file a very slight bevel on the edge of the clip hooks and grease them. Once in place, cut the cable ties and hold the rod while sliding the tube off. Still fiddly but works a treat.

I had a guy bring me a 110 to do a slave cylinder, he didn't mention that he'd already done some research and was concerned he would need to take the gearbox out if the rod came loose. His rod was loose and he was surprised when I said I'd done it all in situ.

I used a similar technique. Still shouted at it a lot
