I haven't been doing too much on the car for the last while but finally I got the finger out today when I saw the sunshine.
I'm changing the slave cylinder on my sr20
I tought it was a straight forward bolt on jobbie.
but when I took the old slave off the arm that comes from the gearbox is loose can be pulled around. Not sure does it have to slot in.
or what needs to be done.
I can upload pics if must be.
I'm not sure what to do now.
so my productive day's work has come to a stop:mad:
put pics up if ya can man ! might help ya a bit more :)
Will do git, cheersQuote:

all that holds that fork on is a small spring onto a pivot ball it shouldnt be tight

I think i'm sorted on this.
it was completly out of place but with a lot of forcing I got it back in to place.(hopefully)
it got too dark to do any more so i have to change a steel pipe and bleed it 2moro.
Can't get pics up only have my phone.
I didn't press the clutch as there's no fluid it it. So i'm not sure if it's in right
but the slave cylinder fit on and all looks ok. Fingers crossed
thanks
Trying to bleed it now with no luck:mad:
the clutch pedal is springing to the floor and has to be pulled back up.
I can pump some fluid in by pressing the clutch by hand but no difference in pressure the clutch.
the first problem u had was the fork came off the pivot ball, which u probally sorted by pushing it back on ,
when ur bleeding it u will have to keep pulling it back up for a while untill u get the fluid threw and air out,
lock the bleed nipple up on it, and pump the peddle , pull it back up with ur hand, then after about 10 pumps or so hold it down, and get some one to open the nipple let the air out ,
then lock it back up , and repeat the process untill u get the pedal to feel right
Thanks buddy but that's prettymuch what I was doing.Quote:

after pumping the chutch and holding it, when I open the nut it's only fluid coming out.
there should be a bleed nipple underneath at the slave cyclinder on the gearbox as well
I'll do that now. That should let the air out alright.Quote:

It won't bleed should I have filled the slave with fluid before i put it on??
When i release the nipple on the slave there was some small bubbles at the start but now it 's just fluid coming out.
The clutch was getting a little pressure and slave it moving slightly but that was it.
I had to give up as the lad helping me do it was slightly retarded:p:D
I need some proper help I'm no mechanic.
Thanks for help lads.
Keep the advise coming, I must be doing smoething wrong:confused:
Any mechanic's in westmeath wanna help me next weekend
I need to install my hydro too but can't till this is sorted:(
The car is just outside kinnegad and I've no trailor to move it.
is there a bleed nipple on your master cylinder??if there is you need to bleed the master clyinder first then move onto the slave clyinder....pump the pedal a few times to get the fluid around the system...then get some to hold the pedal down then you open the bleed nipple to let air an fliud out then close it an tell the person holdin the pedal to let it up an keep doin that until you get a constant stream of fluid an no air
Do you mean a bleed nipple or releasing the 10mm nut holding the steel pipe on?Quote:

Bump this back up
Alright lads I've a new problem with this.
I can't bleed the system. I'm bleeding at the master cylinder. Slave cylinder and the junction box which it goes through.
No air is coming out any where and still no clutch I've kept the master cylinder topped up all along.
I've been pumping and relesing for hours now and there's no pressure in the clutch pedal won't even bring itself up.
Would it be the master cylinder itself, maybe a seal gone would that make sense??
wheres d car young john ?Quote:

no you dont touch the pipe wit the 10 bolt holdin it in at all...the bleed nipple is seperate to the pipe on both the slave an master cylinder you cant miss it...you jus open it enuf to let air an brake fluid squirt out you dont have to fully unscrew it or anythin

i tried to beed it there when I eventually got my arms in to get a turn on it there was no air.
I was turning it with my hand and I couldn't see it and it came off in my hand:o
and it won't thread back in for some reason?
i'm going to replace the master cyl.
Btw
when this happened I was in mondello just coming back in and the clutch pedal welded itself to the floor and I had to force it back up. I don't know if that would effect the master cylinder?
