Looking to do new sprockets/chain soon

I was wondering if the bolt to remove on the slave cylinder is the same on the 12+ as the first gens?

To my understanding you only have to remove the top bolt on the slave cylinder to remove the sprocket cover? or is this not correct?

Yaesh. Short ones stay in the cylinder.

If you don't mind the cover hanging there by the clutch line, you can just leave the slave on. you will pprobily want to still take measures to keep the cylinder from popping out under the fluid pressure in the system...it might fall out otherwise.
