Subject: Re: Problems getting the new clutch slave installed by tobijohn on 2009/12/28 2:41:32 A couple quick questions: The illustration in the FSM shows the bleeder valve on the side of the slave (90 degrees from the hose connector) however, both the old one and the new one are on the bottom of the slave (180 degrees). The instructions say to rotate the bleeder so that it's pointing up. There's no way that can be done given the length of the line. Also, the FSM has you bleed the slave with it disconnected from the clutch housing. Someone at the other place (theadmiral94)stated: "btw, the reason to NOT pressure bleed the slave before install is that it pushes the nose too far out, making it difficult to install, as well as pushing the piston into non-machined areas of the cylinder walls, often damaging the piston seals at the same time. Further, there is a plastic ring/retainer that is designed to limit the max travel of the piston-rod, which if pushed too far, can break that plastic retainer or worse -- push the piston and the rubber nose completely off (ask me how I know this).." http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c4-te ... lutch-slave-cylinder.html (Post #4") So how should it be done? |
