Ae71 Clutch Slave Seals

[Des]

Here is my problem, I'm replacing the seals in my clutch slave and i have got one seal on the piston but i can't get the 2nd one on. How is a seal with a hole 5mm wide ment to fit over a piston that is 10mm wide?

 

As Raven said I'm one angry munchkin, Ive been trying for the last 80mins and no luck :) .

lol i feel your pain! been there and done that...

 

in all honesty to buy a kit at $16, pull apart the old one, hone it and change the impossible seals...

vs $24 for a brand new one its just not worth the effort of rebuilding old ones! ever.

(note: prices are for ta22 about 2 years ago from repco)

 

but i didnt know this when i had to change mine and thinking a kit may be much cheaper went the same way.

i know how bloody impossible it is to get those seals on!! only advice i can give is get a new cylinder!

 

or if you really must do it a clutch/brake shop can do it or you need a smooth tapered shaft to stretch the seal

up the tapered shaft and on to the slave shaft with clutch fluid to lubricate, just look around for a tapered shaft and modify the bigger

end to be slightly bigger than the slave shaft.

 

the hours i spent at that bloody slave cylinder rebuild! i shot one seal off the a 3rd floor balcony trying to strech it with needlenose pliers

for the millionth time and found it an hour later in a drain only to strech it too much and snap it seconds later at 2am...

Use loads of rubber grease (do not use normal grease). And use little picks to guide it on, or a really small screwdriver that you can put a bend in.

 

Good Luck :)
