Clutch has no pressure

[Beef66]

They should have it, I just used a Piece of vaccum line leftover from my intake, Didnt exactly fit but it worked...

When you change the master, do you end up messing with the "play" of the clutch pedal? Meaning you have to readjust when the clutch pedal starts feeling pressure again after you're done?

[Beef66]

You might have to a little bit, It helps if you pay attention when you disconnect your clutch pedal in the car...When your turning off the nut try to count how many time you turned it to get it off or mark where it was, this way when you reconnect it you can semi get it where it was...

I'm having trouble accessing the 12mm bolt that's on the bottom of the slave cylinder. The crowfoot wrenches won't reach...ugh....suggestions? Would I be able to access it from the bottom of the car?

[Beef66]

Hmm....I kinda had the same issue, I ended up pulling out all of the hardlines by there because one was stripped out and I had to take it out of my car to get it off...There might be an easier way but I dont know

[sLADe781]

Ugh, that's gonna super suck if I can't find any other way.

[sLADe781]

Well, I ended up having to take off the other hard lines that were connected to the slave to reach the bottom bolt (in case anyone needs to know for the future).

Okay, here's a question....my battery tray is super dirty. I have a whole bunch of white powedery stuff everywhere...how do I clean it up? Broom? Vacuum cleaner?

I am gonna start on the master removal now...please stay tuned for more questions. Thanks guys.

[sLADe781]

How do we hand thread the hard line back in when we're reinstalling? Even if I don't hand thread it i don't see how I'll be able to get it back down there as there's so little room. Do I have to remove the brake booster?

[sLADe781]

Okay, here's the deal....how do I know if my master cylinder is bad too? Because if I know that it's okay for now, I'll just leave it alone because it seems like a PAIN (!!!!) to remove it. Stealthee said to check if there was fluid inside the clutch pedal and I didn't see a lot but I saw some drops. Also, next to the master there seemed to have been some fluid spills. The thing is though is that when my cluctch wouldn't work on Monday, I topped off the fluid so I don't know if the fluid that spilled out could have been from too much fluid or if it actually is leaking. Please help guys...I'm so tired too...

UPDATE:
Okay, I tried to punk out and not do the master anymore but it didn't work. I'm not completely done but here's what I got so far.

1-Slave is completely off and ready to for the new one. I'm just waiting for the part to arrive now.

2-Master is almost fully off except that I still haven't gotten the bracket attached to the clutch pedal off yet because I couldn't figure out how to pull out the pin. This in part probably has something to do with the fact that I did not loosen the adjustment nut yet....so my question is is it necessary that we loosen the nut? I marked it but just haven't done it yet because I don't want to mess up it's current setting. Also, how do we remove the pin? I was trying to just pull it but it wasn't coming off (again, maybe because I didn't loosen the adjustment nut?).

Well, all-in-all, it's been a productive day in that I've learned a lot. However, what is still hard for me to fully grasp is patience....but I guess that's life right? Anyways, any help with the questions posted here as well as the ones posted in the messages would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again!

I used a flat head screwdriver to remove the pin, Just pushed up on it but watch where it lands...And yes you do have to remove that nut that holds the clutch pedal to that bar, thats actually part of the master cylinder...

UPDATE:
Both my master as well as my slave came in today and they are both installed. However, I'm kinda "iffy" about if my assumptions were correct about the slave leaking because I couldn't find a hole in the rubber part. However, I swear that when I poked at it when it was still installed, it fluid leaked out.

But yeah, I gotta bleed it tomorrow after work and hopefully it'll be okay then. One final question, how do you reach the painted portion of the engine bay next to the master cylinder? Because some fluid spilled out before around that area but I can't reach it to clean it up. Is it already too late since it's been there for over a week now? How long will it be before it starts pealing?
