If you cut the piston the pressure plate and disk will come right out. Then you have plenty of room to get at the nasty bottom slave allen bolt.
One more item, after installation and when removing the wire/spacer from the new pressure plate fingers, be careful and don't repeatedly pump the clutch. You will force the piston out of the slave cyinder and jam the piston. Then the only way to get the slave out is to saw it.
That is how I learned the hacksaw trick in the first place. :-))) Stupidity is the mother of invention.
