CLUTCH SLAVE CYLINDER RENEWAL.
This is quite an easy job tae do but just a wee bit awkward.
Heres how ah did it
The slave cylinder viewed from below the bus .
Ah found the best way to get to it was to undo the down pipe and move it out of the way ..
Then ah removed the wee rubber cap from the bleed screw, stuck a piece of pipe on it and stuck the other end in a container to catch the clutch fluid .
then removed the master cylinder cap .
and pumped the clutch pedal to get rid of the clutch fluid.
Once empty ah removed the metal pipe that fits ontae the rubber flexi hose .
and then the flexi hose from the bulkhead bracket .
Got back under the bus and undid the bottom bolt on the slave cylinder with a 13mm spanner
then the top bolt with a 13mm socket with extension bar .
and removed the slave cylinder .
Then it was just a case of removin the old flexi hose, metal pipe and bracket
Ah put a new rubber flexi hose on and put it back together again with the new slave cylinder .
Then ah smeared some sealant around the end of the slave cylinder and stuck it back in
fitted the flexi pipe to the bulhead bracket and reconnected the metal pipe to it
Then its just a case of bleedin it all through just tae be sure everythings fine before stickin the exhaust down pipe back on (not forgettin' the paste).
Thats it, job done
