Tips on Changing the Clutch slave Cylinder

[srowlandson]

i am about to change it over. Stupidly, I was keen to get the floor back in etc, so, bolted the floor, cover over the bell housing, put the pedal boxes back in etc.

Can I get the slave cylinder out easily without undoing the cover to the bellhousing? I think i might have to to make life easy :mad:

I got my accellerator hooked up, but there is VERY little movement of the pedal between idle and full rev's, is this normal / an issue?

It is probably possible to get the slave cylinder out without removing the bell housing cover panel, but believe me, taking the panel out is easier, even though it means taking out both side floors plus the transmission tunnel.

The very little movement on the accelerator is not normal, and suggests that some of the levers are not at the right angles. As a rough guide, all levers operate at about right angles to the attached rods.

If you have, for example, a Holden carby, this may be part of the problem.

just a note on leverage any lever that moves beyond 90 degrees in motion loses its mechanical advantage
