Clutch slave cylinder

[REGGAJ]

Just wondered what kinda job it is to replace a slave cylinder on an 85 westy? Just realised mines is leaking badly and was hoping to get away in it on friday..

easiest way is to kill a few birds with one stone.

drop the gearbox, then you can change...
the slave, clutch, thrustbearing, gearbox seal, gearbox mount and earth point

or undo the rear gearbox mount disconnect the linkages and drop it down on a jack.
it will be more accessable then

Cheers Kev so the gearbox has to come out to replace it then?

[kevtherev]

not out ..but dropped down by undoing the mount on the back of gearbox.
but disconect the gear linkage first
