fitting clutch slave cylinder

[decdd19]

maybe its normal or maybe i have slipped up somewhere but should it be simple to fit the clutch slave cylinder to the gearbox after the gearbox has been mounted to the engine? serious pressure on the clutch fork when i try pull it back to fit slave cylinder... where have i made my mistake or is this normal??? ep91 with trd lsd and excedy stage 2 clutch

Just release the bleed valve on the slave cylinder and push the piston in then tighten it back up once you have it pushed in far enough

I expected to be able to move the clutch fork by hand, you can't! Do the above

Haha i did the same nearly broke my finger in the process. Undo the bleed nipple and fit it with it open, then bleed it through and nip it back up.

Also done the same ha will remove the nipple an see how it goes thanks

you can push in the rod by hand even when its fully bled

i fit them by putting the rod on the piston fork and push a tat then screw in your 2 screws smple job no need to open the nipple because you will have to bleed it again

Top advice everyone need a little more encouragement then just my finger as it was slightly seized from lying around thanks all 👍
