Bother if you've had to replace the pilot bushing then you've already earned my respect. I know exactly whats involved in doing that. I should of put a Fadanza flywheel in when I had it all apart replacing the clutch. Oh well? Unless you bought one of these super low mile ones there will always be something to fix. Mine just turned 80,000 miles. One day I will buy a super low mile primadonna to put away. But I'm gonna enjoy this one. And when the engine needs to be rebuilt, I'll just drop it off at Corey's and say its 368 time dude. Call me when its done.

There is no need to use the bleeder valve. After installing the new slave, fill the master and start pumping the clutch pedal. It works better if you sidestep it. Sometime during the third beer, you will get all the air out of the system. Make sure you keep the master full.

I ordered the slave cylinder from two different Orielly's auto parts stores thinking I've doubled the chances of nothing going wrong. Boy I was the one that was wrong. The guy at the first store say's its here come pick it up. I get there and open the box and it's the master cylinder. So I call the second store. They say it was never ordered and I was standing right there when the guy ordered it. Is everybody on drugs or what.

I use to sell parts when I was younger, back when an auto parts store had rows of books and the only computer was on the shelf for either a GM HEI or the Ford brain box that oozed out 5 lbs. of epoxy when it fried. If IRC, it was around $60 and that was a big $ item.

Sometimes, there are such a joke for those that remember a real parts man.

Well, if you have a lathe & mill, you can always make one if you have to?

Thats what I'm afraid of. If I made one at the shop It would be better than the ones that are on the market. I would find a piece of Titanium or 316 stainless laying around the shop. Make the body and the piston. Bleed port. And you would be able to unscrew the cylinder body from the ears like a Mag light and just replace the Oring seal when it wears out. Simple, easy, light weight/strong, Will never rust or tarnish.
