looking for clutch hydros for a 1st gen. must be in good condition.

 

i have a BRAND NEW never even used slave cylinder for a 1st gen. email me at tltruckparts@hotmail.com if interested. i think i even have a master cylinder too i may have the hydraulic line as well

 

Im kind of looking for the sealed unit since there is no way to bleed the system. I mean there is no bleeder, and im having that problem with mine now. Its not leaking but i cant get it bled. Idk what do you think?

 

there is a way to bleed. it is not truely a sealed unit. you just have to know how to do it. its easiest to do it with everything out of the truck on a bench

 

Can you explain how to bleed it for me and for others?

 

 

it would take me an hour to write it up. its super confusing trying to explain it on the internet. i called southbend and asked them how to bench bleed it they were very good at explaining it.

ill get those pics sent to you tomorrow after i get off work

 

Basically, on a used one, you can hang it on a wire, master up, then position the reservoir (full of fluid and cap lightly tightened, to aid in removal to top off fluid) above the master cylinder on another means of support.
You then only need to move the slave piston, using the pushrod inward and outward by hand, SLOWLY.
Watch the reservoir for both fluid level and bubbles.
Keep stroking the piston on the slave cylinder back and forth until there are no bubbles coming into the reservoir.

A new set-up has a zip-tie like piece to keep the pushrod from getting lost.
Cut the tie and do as instructed aboove

In truth, it takes little more time to bleed it than it did for me to type all of this and despite how complicated it may seem, it is reallly very simple...

Air will rise in liquids, and liquids displace air easily.

This took me 4 minutes to type.

Mark.

 

Thanks mark. I have done that on the truck by removing the slave and pulling it straight down then pushing the rod in and out slowly, but its just not as good as it could be. I could see where doing it on a bench you could get it better though.

Hey "tltruckparts" you got those pics yet? And a price?

 

i looked around today it looks like all i have left is a brand new slave cylinder. if your itnerested let me know its brand new i didnt get a picture of it because its the same as every other one youll see from oreilly or napa or whatever.
