I don't see how this is possible with the internal slave throwout bearings though, that's my problem.
They're spring loaded so they're fully extended at rest. How in the world am I supposed to get that to not touch the clutch fingers?

Exhibit A: Spring loaded, always extended internal slave cylinder


Edit: I have to measure with it fully compressed. I'm guessing the hydraulic fluid holds it back when the clutch pedal isn't pressed?

Also, how the hell do I get the bellhousing off to ship out for machining? I removed the bolts connecting the back portion to the front (the ones that go through the "sandwich piece" that's a few inches thick) and broke most of the liquid gasket seal but I still can't get it to budge.
