[orange9mm]

just wanted to share my experience with changing the clutch slave cylinder.

i had brake fluid loss that was hard to track down, eventually i noticed my clutch pedal sinking to floor after driving a bit. after a little investigating i found brake fluid leaking out the bottom hole in the clutch housing.

removing the cylinder is easy. you simply unbolt the fluid line ( 12mm ) and then unbolt the cylinder from the clutch housing ( 13mm ), the top bolt is a tight fit for the wrench and hand.

replacing the cylinder is easy too with one trick, first connect the fluid line and bleed the cylinder by pushing the rod in with the bleeder valve open then close the bleeder valve and let the rod out. do this a few times. then bolt the cylinder back on the car. if you don't bleed the cylinder you will find you have no clutch pedal pressure to properly bleed the rest of the clutch system.

cheers
