Thanks. Bleeder screw has been significantly cracked, but it’s possible I was not pumping it fast enough. Pumped it a significant amount but maybe not enough, and not fast enough. Will give that a shot right now. Thanks.

No, I didn’t, though it occurred to me after I started having problems. This is actually helpful, because I didn’t know whether this would have made the difference or not. I’ve not done that before, but there are youtube videos, so that’s an option now. Of course it was my following an fj40...

Nobody knows whether fluid should leak out of the master cylinder if the hard line fitting is removed? Or any of the rest of this posted above? I know you're out there by the dozen, with the answers. Am stuck and can't find another thread to stick this onto that might make it more noticeable...

Back again. Cut the hard line, and ordered a new hard line, because I could not get the flexible line removed from the hard line, partly due to access and partly because, as it turned out the fitting was jammed into the flexible line tighter than I was ever going to be able to get it removed...

In case anyone was wondering why I said it was impossible for me to disconnect the hard line from the flexible line, this photo might explain why it was difficult, at least for me. I couldn’t turn the fitting on the hard line because the entire thing would spin, even with the clip in place...

Mine was worse than that on the cotter pin end, and better than that on the other end. It was the lip that had been created closest to the hole that was hanging it up and prevented removal until I freed it up by screwing the rod all the way out and off.

Just purchased the 60 series clutch plumbing kit from your place. Have sent a cover letter to Cruisermatts.com along with the order. Things got much more complicated than the clutch pedal pin as the day went on, involving impossibility of separating hardline from flexible line after 4 hours...

LOL. Thanks, I will check the website and see if there is anything else I need.

Thanks. I had seen earlier while looking for answers on the “internet” that these were NLA, even from outside vendors. Guess I should have checked for a parts source on my own. Not much you can buy for $2 these days.

Thanks. I “buffed out” that ridge and the corresponding one on the other side that would have made replacing it difficult. And greased it, thinking that might help it wear less in the future. Went right in. It wasn’t huge, 1/32” tall maybe, but you could see where it was freshly galled in one...

Okay, never mind, I got it. Just had to post here, have another think, and then I could get it out. Had to fully screw out the push rod from the U-shaped connector piece and that created enough slop in the assembly that I was able to get the pin out. There was, in fact a groove worn into the pin...

Was going to replace the clutch master cylinder on my '83 FJ60, and got about 3 minutes into it before getting stuck. The clutch pedal pin won't come out of the pedal. It's not rusted, it's not frozen, everything very clean, I can actually turn it in place with almost no resistance. But, it...

Thanks. The external paint and body were pretty much DIY, and about maxed out my skill level. Definitely maxxed out my elbow grease. Finished for now, though there always seems there is more to be done. Door panels about the last part of the puzzle. Some day.

Finally finished mine, more or less. Rebuilt engine, new 5 speed, painted in my driveway. City Racer wheels with Falkens.

Tach works, will see if I can get and post a photo of the wiring, though I think it was just all wired in according to the TPI firecracker directions.
