Hi all!
So, today I decided to replace my clutch slave cylinder, a job that id been putting off for a long time even though it had been leaking.
It was a real squeeze to get the old one out, ended up getting it out by gently pressing down on the clutch pedal and letting it do the work.
The problem I've got now is that I can't get the new one in!
The rubber seal that sits around the bit that goes in makes it too hard to get in.
I'm sure people have had this problem in the past and was wondering if anyone had a novel ideas in getting the new one in.
My only idea is going out and buying a ratchet strap and using that to get enough force to put it in.
And before anybody asks, I really have tried just pushing and wiggling, there's only so much force I can give whilst I lay on the ground under my car.
Thanks in advance!!
