Clutch slave cylinder assembly

I started the assembly of the clutch slave cylinder.
At first rubber parts were renewed using the repair lit I ordered before.  2 rubber piston seals and the rubber boot for the push rod could be easily replaced, however, it was a little difficult to set the fixing ring to the small end of the rubber boot. 


The assembly of the slave cylinder was started after the replacement of the rubber parts.


The fixing wire ring for the large end of the rubber boot looked not strong enough for me, therefore, I decided to use the hose band instead of the wire ring.  I had a stock of the free-size hose band.  I used it.


Okay, it looks better! ☺︎

Slave cylinder assembled

Of course I prepared the new hose.


Next was the installation of the restored clutch slave cylinder.  I thought it could be finished quickly, however, it took more time than I expected because I assembled it in wrong order at first.

Wrong order:
I fixed the hose on body firstly,


then, I tried to connect the hose to the clutch slave cylinder in the next.


This assembly order was not good because the hose was twisted when connecting to the clutch slave cylinder. 

Following is the right order:
At first the hose should be connected to the clutch slave cylinder in advance.


Then, to install the clutch slave cylinder on the clutch housing, to fix the slave cylinder with the snap ring, and to install the rubber boot.


I struggled to set the snap ring because it was very hard and the work space under a car was not enough.
I guess I was cursing under the car. ☺︎

Finally to fix the hose on the body.


The assembly of the clutch slave cylinder was done!

Clutch master cylinder overhaul #3

I was still struggling with the sticking piston of the clutch master cylinder. I thought I should give up and look for the new part for the replacement.  And to for my curiosity , I started to destroy and disassemble the clutch master cylinder piston by drilling. When I was drilling the piston halfway , I didn ’ t have any specific idea , however , I thought to tap the piston to make the thread.  I started to turn the tap handle , and I felt the feeling that the piston was moved.  So , I tried to pull it , and then suddenly the piston was removed from the cylinder. Finally I could extract the rusty piston! I observed the extracted piston.  It looked there was no risk of the leakage of the fluid because the hole I made in the piston was not penetrated.  Thinking the function that this part only holding the rod connected with the clutch pedal , it could be reused if the hole would be filled by the hard material. However , before repairing the holed

Clutch master cylinder overhaul #4

The overhaul of the clutch master cylinder , which I succeeded in the removal and repair of the piston with solder ( probably ), has been still continuing.  The master cylinder was disassembled and all parts were cleaned.  The condition of each part was not bad. In the last week the cylinder and rod were painted. Assembly started.  I checked the condition of the rubber parts originally used comparing with ones of the repair kit.  And I decided to use the original ones because the rubber was not deteriorated yet and the quality looked better than the repair kit ’ s one. Always the assembly is fast although I always struggled with the disassembly. Before After The overhauled master cylinder could be operated smoothly.  And I believe the appearance also became cleaner. ( My original blog was written on 26th Jul. 2009 )
