Hi All, Remember a number of weeks ago I was complaining about German engineering on the way they designed the slave cylinder bracket and how difficult they made it to put the slave cylinder in.... well I replace the slave on my other van this week end in about 20 minutes. I found the trick is 1. do not try to change it from underneath (as I did on my other van last month) 2. the first step is to move the hydraulic line from the old to the new. 3. When installing the new, put the one bolt (the one closest to the engine) in first, accessed through the center of the bracket where the cylinder goes and hold it in place while you drop the new cylinder in. 4. get a bleeder hose about 5 ft long makes it very easy. And that's what I did the weekend before Labor Day Jere 90 GL 88 GL |
