Nice job! I like how you didn't try to hide the fact that you forgot to attach the bracket when putting the slave back on. That sort of thing happens every time I have to do a repair! I also like your tape-the-bolt-bottom hack.

Thx. Nice video. I have done this replacement a few times. Last time round, I had my slave cylinder bored and sleeved with stainless steel to prevent rust build-up and leaking as a result. Brake fluid's hygroscopic properties cauces moisture to accumulate in the brake circuit which leads to premature failure.

The boring snd SS sleeve sounds like a pro move! Thanks for the tip!

Hi Raymond. Hope you get your clutch peddle and gear crunch problems sorted out. Bleeding the line is a good place to start even if the cylinders aren’t leaking. One thing I think I forgot to mention in the video is to make sure the fluid level in the reservoir doesn’t reach the bottom during bleeding. If it does, air can get sucked in the line and you will have to start the process all over again. Best of luck to you with your repair and thank you for commenting!

Thank you for your comment! The hose I had came with a brake bleed catch container, by Motive Products, but all you really need is a section of hose and a plastic bottle. I looked up the hose inner diameter for the Motive bleeder bottle and it's 3/16"id. The hose is silicone and very stretchy. Vinyl hose like aquarium air hose or the hose by the foot at hardware stores will work. I went out and measured the old bleed valve. (Might be different size on yours.) The widest part of the flare of the bleeder was 7mm or just a tiny bit bigger than 1/4". If you can find a hose from 3/16"-1/4" inner diameter it will probably work for a similar sized valve. A snug fit is best. Best of luck to you with all your repairs! PS. I just looked up the bottle I use. Motive Products - 1810 Brake Fluid Bottle. $13.90 on Amazon Prime I'm not sponsored just sharing info. :)

Getting ready to give it a go, what size tube is needed for the hydraulic line to block it from leaking out during the repair? I'd like to get mine ahead of time and be ready. Thx!

Hi @512dude. I went out in my garage and found the red hose and tried to measure it with calipers. I think it is something like 1/2” Outer Diameter with 3/8” Inner Diameter. Inner diameter is roughly 9mm. When I did the repair, I just grabbed a hose that was available in my collection of junk and tools. To be specific the hose came from a “Multi Use Transfer Pump” kit (Sku# 63591) I got at Harbor Freight (currently $7.49). I just cut an inch or two off the hose and shoved a bolt in it.

My clutch pedal is now low and floppy after ivevreplaced the cltch slave cylinder and maste cylinder. Ive bled all the brakes and the slave cylinder but now pedal is sat low down. Can you advise what the issue is and how to fix it thanks craig

Hi Craig, @DoubleOSeven007 is right. Bleed it again. Sounds like air is still in the line. It doesn’t take much to cause a problem. You might try loosening the clutch slave bleed valve and pushing the slave cylinder piston all the way in before bleeding again. This might help if there is air trapped in the piston chamber.

Probably need to check the linkage from front to back. There are some plastic pieces that wear out and make gear selection difficult.
