Default clutch master cylinder replacement

i need to change this because it leaks HARD...

is this a simple task?

i hear it is all a few 10mm and 12mm bolts and bleeding clutch fluid...

first timer, lmk it is i plan to do it next week if its easy

what else should be replaced besides my clutch master cylinder?

how do i clean the old leaked fluid? i probably have 500lbs of dried clutch fluid leaked already

Hardest part is the little clip holding the pedal to the MC piston way up under the dash. Other than that it's pretty easy.

Get a repair manual, even a Haynes manual, if you're unsure of exactly what to do.

make sure u set the threads at the excact same height on the new MC or else youll have play in the pedal or it will be to tight and burn the clutch.. youll understand when you get to it.

well usually when the clutch MC leaks the slave cylinder is gonna leak soon also cause they share the same fluid which has probably never been changed.. lol its no big deal a slave wont cost more than 20 bucks,
