LMC list a 1 1/16" bore slave cylinder. Is this the correct part?They also have repair kits w/ 1" or 1 1/16"bores available. Are they talking about the piston inside the slave cylinder? And about bleeding the system after install? any advice would be appreciated need to order parts on Monday.
Thanks

Yes they are talking about the size of the piston inside the slave cylinder. You bleed the slave cylinder in the same way you bleed a brake wheel cylinder, open the bleed screw when the clutch pedal is up, push the clutch pedal to the bottom and hold, close the bleed screw, let the clutch pedal up and begin the process again, until only fluid comes out of the bleed screw, hope that helps. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 Riding in the Passing Lane | | Riding in the Passing Lane Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 | A repair kit works real good on clutch cyls. They go through a long stroke so there is seldom any pitting or corrosion. Any parts place can get a kit for you at a fraction of the cost of a new cyl. Napa prt # for the 1" #255. For the 1 1/16" #408. Carquest can supply them also.
They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though.
