60 Series Clutch Slave Clyinder

Post by joel HJ60 »

During the week the clutch slave cylinder in my 60 decided to give out. Died in a blaze of brake fluid on the road.

My clutch pedal sank right to the floor due to the fact all of the fluid past the clutch master cylinder was no longer acting on the cylinder, but bypassing to the road.

To take it off all I needed was a 17mm spanner (or ratchet) and a 14mm spanner.
It was easiest to crack the 14mm flexible line first, then take the two 17mm bolts out.
Once the two bolts were out I wound the cylinder off the flexi line and that was it.
The rod of the cylinder sits in a cup on the piston in the cylinder and does the same on the clutch fork. The tapered part goes in towards the piston and the boot sits in the groove towards the clutch fork end.
At this time I would have replaced the clutch master cylinder, but I was supplied the wrong one. It will happen soon.

As it was.

Uber gunked up piston.

Cleaned up piston. Seals wern't that bad besides some chunks missing. Just the piston body was shagged.

I'm aware that these can be rebuilt. Piston replaced, seals replaced and have the bore honed. But a new one cost $37 so I didn't see the point.
