Does anyone know how to get the clutch slave cylinder piston out? tried the old air pump in the bleed nipple hole, no good! tried a grease gun on the bleed nipple, can get the piston to move flush with the cylinder casting but no further and yes I'm now covered in grease and using the hydraulics is no good as the seal has gone and air pisses past. I have used these methods numerous times on callipers and have always succeeded It looks like a second hand replacement is required but I just don't like to be beaten

Did you remove the bleed nipple then try compressed air,Ive had this before just blowing air into the bleed nipple is somtimes not enough

if that dont work then may need a soak in wd

Thanks Lee yes removed bleed nipple and blocked hydraulic line feed, first tried air then grease, going to try soaking in plusgas then if that doesn't work bin it as a replacement can be sourced for £15 not worth the hassle really!

Just to close the thread, finally got the bugger out using a bolt in the hydraulic feed hole. Closed the bleed nipple and just slowly using small quantities of grease screwed the bolt in then unscrewed it, added more grease screwed the bolt in again etc. took some time but it worked!







Think I need to invest in a small compressor! (and sorry about the blurry photo's bit to cold in the garage for the camera I think!)

remember seeing some expanding plier/molegrip type of thing thats designed to get siezed pistons out but I cant remember where I saw em.I once managed to get some out of a siezed Srad front caliper with some external circlip pliers.

Got some and they are good but the slave cylinder is to shallow for them to grip properly!
