>Does the slave cylinder adjustment just involve removing the spring and
then turning the slotted screw adjuster to allow for aprox 1/8" of "wiggle",
or do the nuts closest to the rubber boot have to be loosened?

Yes, you remove the spring.
Then, you break the jamb nut loose from rod stop.
turn the rod stop out until the desired "wiggle"
Return the jamb nut tight against the rod stop and replace the spring,
Voila! an adjusted clutch!

>Also can penetrating oil be used on the bleeder valve on the slave or would
that contaminate the cylinder or somehow get on the clutch?

It won't get into the system and it's a good idea. Much better than rounding
off your bleeder valve, which you'll find listed in the big book of bad
ideas, page 44.
