Not sure just where the slave cylinder is in relation to the interior of the car, but would it be possible to cut a rectangular opening just above it? This would be covered with a formed cover and hidden under the rear seat/carpeting.
Or does the geometry not work? Or is it not worth the trouble?

Why bother when the bleeding process isn't all that difficult, especially if you have a Motive Products Power Bleeder.

Installation of a new slave cylinder isn't hard either, but can be frustrating.

I wouldn't do that. Its really not that hard to bleed or change the slave. The trick is lying in the right position under the car or using a lift . I like using a hand type vacuum gun/pump to bleed the slave even though I do have a Motive bleeder.

Once you have the bleed bottle with tubing attached and the proper wrench, it's a 10 min. job if you reach up blindly and hold your arm just right. The fun begins when the tubing slips off at the same time as the wrench while the bleed nipple is open, causing air to enter the system and brake fluid to drip down your arm. We masochists have so much more fun!

Ever since I modded my Power Bleeder and ordered the proper hose, I now have stock of various sizes of Superthane® Ester based tubing.

Its more flexible and once slipped onto the bleeder, it stays put unlike the cheap vinyl hose I would use from the local Lowes or Home Depot.

Slide under the car from the passenger side, reach up with left hand and 6/7/8 mm (don't remember which) box end (very small ignition) wrench. Slide wrench over nipple followed by bleed hose. Open bleeder valve for 30 sec. and reverse.

That's how I do it.

I just don't see cutting an access panel from above as an option (or necessary).

7 mm box end. Just happen to be working in the area.

Replace the bleeder valve with a remote bleeder. I made a bracket to match the brake line mount in driver rear. Works like a charm.

As you can see from the responses, its not worth the trouble - bleeding the clutch circuit is one of the easier things you can do on a 993. Just watch the levels in the reservoir, the intake is much higher than the brake intake, and its easy to suck air.

I like the solution Scott's solution, although for road use its likely overkill.

Cheers,
