04 QC Clutch hydraulics
Over the past couple months I've been working on my truck, making old things new and such. I've replaced shocks, torsion bars, front stabilizer bar, lower control arms, inner/outer tie rods and even better lug nuts. After all that the hydraulics in my "hydraulic" clutch decided it was time to stop working as intended, so I did what any other person with a high mechanical aptitude would do... I got on the interwebs, ordered a sealed kit to replace my clutch master/slave cylinder, then straight to youtube for videos about them.
You know how, like you're doing something and you get to a certain section and realize you have to stop. Mostly because you had literally no idea that this section even existed as part of the something you're doing? For instance...
Removing the clutch master cylinder from the firewall. Of the several videos I watched regarding the clutch master/slave cylinder, everyone of them talked about simple it is to disconnect it all and patiently feed it up and out of the truck, but did you know, not a single one of them mentioned anything at all about the "Brake" master cylinder? Which I could understand after all, I am watching about the "clutch" master cylinder, so I can kinda see how someone might over look it, if it wasn't for the fact that Brake master cylinder is bolted to the firewall directly over the top of the Clutch master cylinder.
Is there some kind of cheat, or hack, or spell, that will make it easy to get the old one out and more importantly, easier to get the new one back in?
