Could someone tell how hard or easy is it to replace the clutch slave on our cars? I'm guessing mine went bad cause I have no movement but I do have oil.

 

I guess the answer is relative to your skills. However, it's fairly straightforward. Two bolts and a clutch line after you remove the intake pieces before the air-box. A combination wrench works great. I believe it's 12 mm. I take off the ground plate before I attempt it. It's easier to access the slave, plus it gives you the opportunity to clean up your grounding point. I would saturate the hose connection at the slave along with the bolts to be removed a few times with PB Blaster before beginning r&r(especially in NE). I hope you have a garage. My buddy said that windchill has been below 0 for a few days.

 

i think its 2 bolts in a rather precarious location. not fun i know that. but its not hard.

 

use ratchet wrenches, they're perfect for removing the slave cylinders.

 

If you have fluid (no leaks) but no movement, I think your problem lies in the master cylinder. With the slave, the piston either moves or it leaks because the pressure has to go somewhere.

 

It's not hard to replace, but I don't think you've done a very thorough job of diagnosing your problem.

If the slave turns out to be the problem, you'll want to take the line off before unscrewing the cylinder itself, or you won't be able to loosen the banjo bolt. Every time I have replaced a clutch line, brake caliper, etc, I have made this mistake. It only takes a three minutes to re-attach but they're the three most frustrating minutes of your life.
