Make sure you didn't accidentally reverse the piston seal. BTDT. :pardon:
installed it the same as the one i took out, but dousnt mean that was right, looks the same as the manual may swap it over just to make sure,, thanks mate,, rod
took the slave apart again, seal is around the right way, but still leaks, , think randy will get some business from me again, rather buy something exciting not a clutch slave, glad its not effie :good2:
got the better of me, took slave apart again, and followed I think Leon,s advice and polished it inside, dremel, cloth, and brasso , still pitted so may leak again, but for now its fixed :good2:
Indeed, it's not just a matter of replacement. The amount of crud that sits inside the sealing face of the groove came as quite a surprise to me when I did mine.
I'm hearing you buddy , , think this one was original , lots of paint missing from brake fluid leaking / spraying back when moving, crud had built up under the outside seal that much it was lifting it up, won't mention the push rod was surrounded in crap I had to dig out ,, even my Fj wasn't that bad when I bought her, but she did only have 20,000 ks and not 40 like this one
