Clutch Fork Bolt?

So I'm trying to tighten the t-bolt that holds the clutch fork down and I'm having quite a difficult time. Anyone know of any tips/tricks to get at it? As it sits I've got the slave cylinder off and I'm trying to reach up in there with a 13mm.

If it's loose, you'll want to remove it and add loctite. I had one vibrate loose while driving and it snapped off leaving me stranded. Not what you want to here, but I pulled the tranny to fix it.

I could never get it tight enough when the tranny was separated? The fork wouldn't reach to the TO bearing?

Haha. Yeah, I got it. Yank the fork towards the drivers side and it'll slide completely off the stud. Or at least enought to tighten the bolt! HTH

And use loctite. I used red. And then went with a hydraulic TO.
