Bummer that you have to do this outside and in the rain but, I suppose you gotta do what you gotta do.
There's your problem
Hopefully your other parts aren't incorrect too. Check your local parts store and see if they offer a different part number kit. Then see if the tool in that kit is the right one. That's my best guess.
So I get everything back together, bleed the system and get it all pressured up. Started the Jeep up and go to push the clutch in and something blew. Lost all pressure and fluid is pouring out the bell housing. Not sure what happened but got to start all over.
Just in case the cheap slave I got is bad.
Man that sucks!!! That type of slave cylinder is such a RPITA!!! Did you apply a thin coating of grease on the splines of the input shaft? The input shaft looks like it was pretty dry and crunchy. Good luck with the next one. Sucks you have to be out in the weather to fix it. Good luck!! [emoji106]
Sorry to hear that. Hope it goes quicker this time as you know all the tools/bolts/etc.
I do feel better about it this time. My first clutch job and we had some issues which all have been resolved. Stripped bolts, driveshaft wouldn't telescope, clutch alignment, etc...
The XJ lives! Replaced the faulted slave cylinder and it's all working this time around. Took a fraction of the time vs the 1st time.
