Help, clutch slave alignment

[clive f]

just in the process of gently taping out the old slave cylinder from the bell housing and my phone rings problem being that as I picked it up to answer it the cylinder popped out and being distracted failed to note the hole alignment.

so, the 2 holes in the slave, only one of them can line up with either the bleed pipe at the top of the bellhousing, OR, line up with the inlet pipe coming from the master cylinder on the side of the b/housing.

I`m pretty sure that when it came out a hole was lined up with the bleed pipe at the top, can anyone confirm this asap please?

[BLUETHUNDER]

From what i understand the holes have to line up at 6 o,clock.

thanks mate, that confirms that one hole was at the top when it came out.


no the sort of job you want to go back to later on.

Yup, as mentioned above hole line up at 6 and 12 o'clock. Anywhere else and you'll likley run into bleeding problems.

ive had another look at my slave/bell housing and i can see two holes on the slave housing snd 3 holes in the bell housing.

2 holes in the slave housing are oppostie each other or 6 and 12 oclock.

3 holes in bell housing are 12 oclock, 3 oclock and 9 oclock. the 12 oclock hole is directly below the bleed hose.

which of the 3 holes on the bell housing should i line up the 2 holes on the slave housing?

[clive f]

the top one, the bleeed hole lines up with one of the slave cylinder holes, that way the 2 slave holes are at 12 and 6 oclock.

checked in the rebuild manual and it is correct
