clutch master cylinder questions before install?

[pazsion]

What tools will i need?

I won't have help to do this? the part where i've read to push in the slave cylinder all the way, i think i could use a shoestring to tie it down? And then attache the new unit.. fill it up...release the slave and pump it up...right?

What more should i consider before going at this alone? How would it be possible to screw this up?

If my thinking is correct...and i fill everything with fluid, I should be able to just pump out the air if any got in there? useing the bleed screw?

I've been running this for years on a bad master cylinder.. I try not to let it run dry..it's only a problem in the winter -.-

How long should this take me? I've been putting it off since i'm on call all the time..and i have in my mind that this will take over an hour, includeing the pump up, and bleed maybe more? And then any trouble shooting if things dont go right..

wow seriously, that simple? what tools should i need? this seems like a tight space.. they look like 12-14mm?? will i need to bend the hardline at all?

i feel so stupid for putting this off so long, i've probably wasted hundreds of gallons of fuel and baked my clutch from it slipping and not fully engaugeing..

all bolts but the hardline were 12mm

the bolt holding the pedal in was a pin.. and easily came out with no tools..

everything slide out even the thing that attaches to the pedal.. through the firewall..

Paid particular attention to where the hardline was, and not to bend this.. thankfully most of it was in a bendable position and nothing to really bend against except the brake master cylinder.. and the lines running out of it..

with it out, getting to the hardline is much easier..

I was hopeing i'd have space to run wires through the hole, for the hydrogen cells..but this would be bad, the wires are too big..

I filled the slave thing with fluid, filled the resivoir, attached everything, tightened it down, did not open the bleed because it was in a difficult location once everything was on there.. so i bled through the resivoir...

with it open and a bag over it to catch any spray, i pumped the slave, slave until it no longer made any noise but the fork moving.. not alot of travel there..

and then pumped up the master,slave.. and kept fluid in the resivor.. pumped until difficult, extended the rod, pushed some more, and now it's nice and tight.. capped it off and test drove..

she locks up and spins these dual layered steel radials like they were skinny tires muahhahaha.. xD
