If that's the case, you need to remove the transmission to get to it. Another one of Fords better ideas. Then there is a special tool to remove the line. It's Ford tool number T88T-70522-A. once the transmission is out, it is very easy to remove the slave cylinder, just slide it off the input shaft.
