Reply to "Slave Adjustment"

Thanks jb. Lucky I saw your post before getting under the master and breaking my spine. I took out the all the nuts on the top of the slave (B nut and the bleed screw), and the freaking thing still won't push in to releave the final pressure. When I put in the slave, I had about 1/4 inch or so of play with no fluid in the slave (I could push the arm back and forth about 1/4 inch). Only thing I can now think is that something seemed to occur when fluid got in there, and now it won't return all the way even with all the screws out, odd as hell. I now even got the wife involved. She pushed in the clutch and I tried to adjust the bolt down some more on the slave rod. I already had it bottomed out to the rear toward the eye, but I cranked on it real hard to losten it toward the eye some more. I got maybe 1/4 turn of that bolt and the rod too downward. Then I measured the arm distance and that action allowed the arm to go in a little more very slightly. So to me that shows that rod will go in more, but something seems to have changed within the slave, as I could have never gotten that slave on the clutch arm with the pressure it has now. Now I wonder how to get that slave off with the pressure on it from the clutch arm pushing against it. Maybe I could loosen the clutch arm where it is attached to the trans and try and pry open that gap to make it large enough for it to spin free, and then just adjust the arm further to the rear of the car and tighten that nut again. Damn, one or two hour project is taking about 3 weekends so far for the weekend warrior!
