has anyone have the same problem? The rubber hose that comes off the slave cylinder is leaking on my 95..I already bought the new hose...I just wanted to know if anyone has replaced one before and how much of a pain is it to change out. Any help?

 

Its simple... Loosen the nut on the hard line and remove the banjo bolt on the slave and remove. I would get a set of QUALITY flare nut wrenches so you dont strip the lines. I am running the ss line from the GD that replaces the two rubber ones.

 

It is easy, but space is tight.
I found it easier to remove the slave cylinder completly with the hose attached and work on it outside of the car.
Flare nut is a must though.

 

Preciate the help fellas...I will be doing this soon...got to get that flare nut though. Another thing...I'm kind of iffy on bleeding the whole system out and then not being able to bring the clutch back up while refilling the system....I know you need two people to do it..one putting liquid in and the other pumping the clutch. Any suggestion on how to do it easier?Thanks again fellas.

 

Well, what you need is one pushing the pedal and one opening the bleeder valve and then closeing it quickly before air can get in and filling the fluid as needed.
Bleeding tyhe clutch is fairly simple.
Have the person press the clutch pedal in, when they do open the bleeder valve and release the air thats trapped in the lines with the fluid. When the pedal hits the floor board, close it.
At that time the person in the car will need to pull the pedal away from the floorboard(it will not come up by itself) and repeat the process as needed untill all the air is gone.
When you see no more air bubbles, move to the second bleeder valve up top and repeat the process as needed.

 

i did no biggie get a new hose

 

I bought one of those bleeder kits for $10. Bleeding the system takes a fraction of time because you dont have to worry about the air going back in. As long as you keep the res filled you can open the bleeder screw and and have your friend pump away. Plus, You get to watch all the bubbles travel through the tube. This is great as you can make sure that the system has been completely bled.
