Easy job.
Had the old one out and new one in and bled in less than half an hour.
Cracking the hose while the cylinder was still attached was the trick and just winding it off made it easy.
I'll just buy replacements. It's not worth the effort to overhaul. Although with the old units I pull off I may play around with them for the experience.
So by bleeding it out via the slave, it will bleed the master up sweet as well?
My slave cylinder died tonight in a puddle of glory.
How does the cylinder connect to the clutch fork?
I will also replace the master cylinder, how is the best way to bleed this?
Looks like splitting it at the hard line it is. I'll have to cap it off then bleed the brakes afterwards. Although I like the idea of drilling the rivets and bolting the union onto the backing plate.
How needed is the backing plate. Is it's purpose only to protect one side of the rotor??
When needing to remove the brake backing plate for any reason, do you remove the rubber brake line where it meets the hard line over tha axle, stretch it or have fitted longer ones simply to glide it over the spindle?
How do you guys do it?
