Of course I did not touch the clutch. But I was able to loosen most of the bell housing bolts from the engine compartment leaning over the fender
seriously, this is why the 240D was such a nice choice over a 300D. it can be a bummer working with such little power when getting onto LA freeways, but having all the extra room to work in the engine bay is a dream. i was leaning over the fender and reaching down to the clutch slave to attach the hardline last night. there are times i think it'd be fun to have another '85 turbo, but this 240D with manual everything really avoids some of the major headaches you get with other W123s.
