Yep I have both so will replace them

Did you put the HD/strengthened fork in? I used to go through a fork every 60 000km or so, until I made my own HD one.

I've never had any trouble pulling off the slave cylinder. The rod usually stays on the fork and slides out of the rubber on the cylinder.

its the fill port on the MC recirculating.

to start with it will only do it occasionally while hot and then get worse

HD forks were not available when it happened last time.

The slave is off but the rod is sitting inside the housing. Absolutely no chance of line up the rod and slave.

I am guessing the rod should be sticking out a little bit so that I can line things up, I pulled the slave off three time at Cooma and recall I could easily line things up

Pretty sure the rod has punched through the fork.....

It does sound like it to me.

So, pulling sicky tomorrow?

James.

no need if youve puched the rod through the fork simply pull it out then machine up a t piece rod by machining a section of rod the same diameter as the ball on the end of the rod to have a ball and pin configuration on one end (lets you locate it easily) and the original diameter rod on the SC side at the same length

Cross drill it and install cross pin then weld a pair of washers on each end of so they only just clear the fork, center the lot then weld it on the long end of the pushrod.

load the ball with a large blob of bluetack and install with the cross pin perpendicular to the fork arm (it may help to support it with a rest made from tie wire inserted through the bell housing drain.) then install the SC as per normal.
