Make sure you didn't accidentally reverse the piston seal.  BTDT.      :pardon:

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
