T-Series Clutch hose replacement

Share this page

Here's a hint when replacing a slave cylinder, or even a wheeel cylinder or caliper... if you fill the master to the top and place a suitable piece of plastic over the reservoir and then screw on the cap, you'll loose very, very little fluid and save a mess, and have less air to purge. I've even done the above, and simply opened the bleeder on the replaced part, pull the plastic off, and let it flow. No bleeding required, sometimes. Peter C.
 
I would - theyre not that expensive, and that one is pretty worn.
 
The clevis pin and pushrod are knacker'd but that you can replace later without too much trouble. How does the bore of the cylinder look? I neglected to mention "wet" honing, light oil on the stones. If you've got pits or corrosion in there it'll "work" for a while but will tear up the rubber cup eventually and Scott gets a fin... If it cleaned up smooth you've a shot at an effective rebuild.
 
The pits & corrosion were located up where the piston slides & do not go as deep as the rubber cup is. I'm going to give it a try as I have the new parts & not sure the clutch is 100% anyway. If it does not work it is a nice learing experience for me will not be frustrating the second time around.

How aout the pin in the last photo for the MC. I am not sure if this is to be round or elongated.

Does it need replacing?
 
I would suggest that it is hoged out. If a new one is not available have it welded and drilled at local machine shop. That should clean up a lot of slop in the clutch play.
 
Yep, that one's gone too.
 
MC pin is about $18 and the other is about $12. Not that I am cheap but would like to get them back in today and move on.
I like your idea, jlaird. I can weld that up today myself and get them back in.
 
Of course you could just put 'em back in as-is, and then replace those when the parts come... Shouldn't be hard to do.
 
True too. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif
 
Hehe, weld and drill, good for another 20 years or so.
 
Roger that. The "pins" may be available at a good hardware store, BTW.
