Two ways to get it all apart with a blown slave.
One, I've only read: Having a second slave, you remove its bleed screw, disconnect the hydraulic line from slave in car, and screw the second bleed screw in its place. (Same threads) Then, pop a grease gun onto the second bleed screw and pump the slave full of grease. It HAS to work, blown seal or not, with a fluid as thick as grease in it. Install your keeper tool between fingers of PP and the steel outer shell, remove six bolts to flywheel, and, with slave unbolted, splined shaft pulled out front, pry pressure plate off the dowel pins. Pressure plate, clutch disk, slave, throwout bearing, all squeezed into one package, should slide out.
The other, I've done several times and posted about on here. No real prying involved. You remove every other one of the pressure plate to flywheel bolts, loosen the other three most of the way, and take three fat nuts (1/2-13 SAE are about the right size) and, as you turn the flywheel, pop each of the nuts under the three "ears" of the forged part of the pressure plate, where they stick out of the pressed steel housing, just at the point where a strap linking them to the pressed shell is riveted to the ears. Head of rivet holds nut in place; turn flywheel and move on to the next, till all three in. An extension magnet tool makes a good way to place the nuts with.
Then working around the flywheel, tighten the three remaining pressure plate to flywheel bolts down. This jacks the forged pressure plate up, sitting on the nuts, and depresses the spring fingers in the center. Insert your keeper tool, remove the three bolts, collect the three nuts with the magnet extension tool, and, with slave unbolted and splined shaft pulled out front of tranny, package of slave, throwout, pressure plate and clutch disk will now slide out.
