any trick to installing slave Cyl in bracket?
My slave cyl is connected in the car but I need to get it mounted in the bellhousing bracket with the 2 bolts. Seems like it needs to be compressed to be able to put the bolts through. Am I missing something?

Nope, that's how it goes... after all, pushing on the clutch extends it, so it has to start out its motion at the bottom of its travel. The slight spring tension is what makes it automatically adjust.
You can use a C-clamp or something to hold it in place if you're having trouble holding it in depressed with one hand, holding up the bracket with another, and starting bolts with your 3rd and 4th hands.
