Clutch slave change

Post by Pem Brooke »

When I parked the 'Storm in November I noticed a drip of fluid from the clutch slave. Sourced a replacement from the forum (thanks Tony) and finally got round to fitting it today. Shame on me for not replacing the fluid before it got to this, but wow, could not believe the crap fluid that came out of the pipe work! Decided to clean out the master and the pipe work and after fitting the new slave, bled the system and now we're road ready.
Lesson to self...change the fluids before they cause damaged! Next are the brake fluids... :thumbup:

8O not good.
I agree, regular brake/clutch fluid changes are important due to the fluid being hygroscopic,
