Yes you do. That's not a fun job...been there. Have the scars to prove it. The slave is attached to the transmission with two small bolts, so there is no way around it.

Here are some of the torque specs you'll need.

Flywheel to crank bolts: 74
Pressure plate to flywheel bolts: 54
Bellhousing to engine bolts: 35
Transmission to bellhousing bolts: 26

All values are in ft/lbs.
