Clutch master cylinder - best way to renew?

(1/2) > >>

vtrdaz:
Whats the best way to renew - remove the whole clutch box or just do the cylinder from underneath the bonnet?
And what's the best to use OE or pattern or is there a better make out there?

Cheers

Darren

May 2007 LRE covers this in fine detail - do it from above !!

vtrdaz:

Cheers!

Jimbo:
According to the article, you'll need:

STC100410 (although I guess that might vary depending on age of vehicle), cost £12 + the dreaded, for the master cylinder

they also suggest doing the slave at the same time - FTC5202, £15 + vat !

you have remove the master as you aint got enough room between it and the bulkhead, piece of pish to do, took me all of a hour friday night to renew my dribbly one  :roll:

undo the 6 bolts thats secure it in the drivers footwell ( if you got a carpet or rubber matt fitted youll need remove that 1st...i dont )

go inside the engine bay holding the big union with a 5/8th's IIRC undo the little 11mm male union on the pipe

then you can remove the cyl, bit fiddly but it comes out  :roll:

when out, undo the 6 slot head screws on the top and you can then see the plunger,

undo the 13mm head nut on end of shaft

then undo the two M8 bolts (13mm) that secure it....btw these are bolts and not studs like i thought  :oops:  so you need hold the end inside aswel  :oops:

fitting is opposite to this  :roll:

any probs, giv us a shout
