Re: [MBZ] 240d Clutch Cylinder was Re: Something Stupid
Look around for folks that sell them... broker a deal with them to come and install yours, and fix anything it needs... If you have space in your shop for a 4 post lift and a two post lift get one of each you will be glad you have them. It is amazing how easy it becomes to do exhaust.. or rear ends.. or just oil changes need to check that rattle.. put it on the lift and look and shake 20 minutes later, done... fixed... Next !

Yea, I am sure I will wonder why I didn’t get off my lazy rear and do it years ago. I’m still not positive if it works for not. Supposedly it does but bought it used.

Re: [MBZ] 240d Clutch Cylinder was Re: Something Stupid
Kaleb, Yes, clamp off the line to the clutch master to keep from a big mess when you disconnect the clutch master. Replace both slave and master, then, open supply line. And... get that damn car lift up and working hire somebody to install it... you will up your volume of work by geometric scale NEVER lay on your back again.. lift the whole car... brake jobs while standing.. or setting in an office chair... Tool box rolled under the car so you don't have to get up and down for a wrench... etc etc etc. You'll be soo glad you did it...

Re: [MBZ] 240d Clutch Cylinder was Re: Something Stupid
I think I would just bleed it out by removing the slave cylinder, then crack the connection to the master to allow air in. Remove the carpet from the driver footwell if you can, put some rags inside to catch any drips.
