Hey all. I'm going to replace my clutch master cylinder as it is leaking out under the pedal. I had a thought -- since it's so easy to replace the slave cylinder, should I replace it at the same time as I replace my master cylinder, as a kind of preventative maintenance? I'd like your opinions.
Thanks.

 

Its cheap enough to do it for the sake of having both parts new. Make sure you flush everything with clean fluid.

 

Definitely. And chances are, if the MC needs to be replaced then the slave is on its way out too. And as always, bleed it and adjust the pedal freeplay after you install

 

bench bleed the MC prior to install or you'll never get all the air bubbles out

 

 

I just did both last weekend. No need to spill brake fluid everywhere twice.

 

bleed the new MC before I install? Or bleed the old MC before I take it out?

 

 

Bleed whenever you're bored.
