2001 Chevy Cavalier 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Manual

What's the best way to install a slave cylinder, does the engine come out top, or does the engine and trans. Drop out the bottom? Thank's in advance.

Just to clarify, you don't need to remove engine just to change slave cylinder.

If you don't have to remove the engine, then how do you get to the slave cylinder? Are you saying that it is easier to remove the trans axle in the car.
