Default Broke slave cyl line, How to install new slave cylinder?

I broke the braided line on a 02 ws6 and i bought the whole expensive assembly that you have to get from GM.

Im trying to figure out how to change this thing out and i have NO room to get in there under the brake booster to un bolt it.

Whats the procedure for this installation?

Hey, I broke the slave cylinder rod in my assembly, had to by the "whole damn thing", which is expensive, think they coulda made it so you could take it apart and fix the thing, but anyways, it is a pain!...but very possible. I think I dweld on this till I got the part, how to make it easier, the first thing you gotta do, is get two people! I know how cramped it is, and most of the time the second person will do the lookin. undo the pedal clip, from the mastercylider, undo your two bolts that hold the U bolt (this holds the mastercylider in place), now your going to have to remove the U bolt, I used an air chissle, lol, since there isn't room for a hammer. once you get this (easier said then done) get under the car and pull downward on the cable, since the mastercylider is installed at an angle, the only way to get it out is to pull it down and slide it out. have your buddy push in the car and you pull, once you get it you may have to worm it around some electrical, or the exhaust. undo the slave cylinder bolts and remove it completly. Now reverse those step, use the much needed help, and hook it back up, any more Q's just ask.
