Finally back in the Philippines after being gone for almost 6 months.
Previously I replaced the flex hose and clutch slave cylinder on my 1993 PZJ75 and even after flushing/bleeding the system about 30 minutes later the hydraulic clutch would be spongy. I determined that original OEM Master Cylinder seals were going bad.
Here in the Philippines it would be difficult to locate an new MC and purchasing one outside the PI would be expensive.
I ordered a replacement thru one of our Landcruiser vendor/members and had it shipped to the US and then brought it with me on my return trip to the PI.
Early this morning before the temperature and humidity increased I went out to the garage and swapped out the clutch master cylinder and bled the hydraulic clutch (tedious bleeding by yourself).
I was able to get a family member to assist me to finalize bleeding the hydraulic clutch; the clutch now respond immediately when depressing the clutch pedal.
