Clutch master and slave cylinders

Could anyone advise on the procedure to change the seals on the clutch master and slave cylinders?

The master has a slight leak, should you sort out both whilst at it? Is it an easy job?

Thank you, regards Simon.

Its easy enough,just take your time.Repair kits are available -
GRK1029 for master AEU1018 for slave (Rimmers)
Might be best to change fluid rather than save the old stuff and take care removing the nuts holding the pipes as they may be hard to
undo.

See ya. Paul

Hi Simon,
Sort of depends on your skill level if you know what i mean. It is case of removing the dust covers,remove the circlip inside,exstract the piston assembly,then dismantle and replace components you have in the rebuild kit. Always check the bore of the cylinder if this is marked / corroded then you will possibly be waisting your time,ensure the piston seal is fitted the correct way round,lubricate everything with brake fluid and dob some rubber lube on the push rod ball end.Recommend you get at least a Haynes type manual as this will have exploded diagrams or take digital pics as you take apart the piston ass as very easy to forget (well i do [;)] )
Hope this helps, Good luck ,
Cheers John.

It is a good idea to hone the inside of the cylinder to remove any marks from the old seals. A brake hone can be used for this. If the cylinder is deeply scored you may need a replacement cylinder so it may be best to check the condition before you buy the kits.
