My point on that was mainly to remove that shiny (probably stainless) bolt below your slave boot, which will free the slave from the lever arm that bolt connects the slave's rod end to. You can then do whatever seems easiest above that point to free the slave from the bellhousing, assuming you're also pulling the bellhousing along with the ZF. It's not really critical which way you choose to do that, whether to remove the slave from its bracket or the bracket from the bellhousing. Don't forget about the other things then (starter, 2 or maybe 3 bolts under bottom of bellhousing, speedo cable, etc.). Pull the ground clamp off battery before pulling starter, just in case you didn't know.
