Re: Clutch Slave Cylinder DIY problem – Help please.
Thanks Grant, I'm scratching my head too. It seems like a straight forward remove and replace. The only caveats I've seen are, "Don't press the clutch if the slave is connected, but not mounted" and "Make sure it is inserted correctly so the plunger tip is correctly contacting the fork".
I removed the slave and got my cell cam in position to show the mounting hole and clutch lever (fork). (Below) The indentation in the fork ensures the plunger tip really has nowhere to go but into the divot. I tried to insert my finger to see if I could depress the lever, but the contortion required to get my finger in, eliminates any leverage I have to depress the lever. I don't know if a human finger should be able to depress it. I can see eEverything appears to be where it should be, I just don't know it the fork is somehow frozen.
I'm going to re-install the slave and if I can't get the pedal to the floor this time, I suppose a flat bed trip is my next option.
Any thoughts from the brain trust are welcome!
