You've got to have the parts first - so a slave cylinder, and I'd suggest a new hose and copper washer too. Verto units have a banjo bolt on them. I'd replace it, or have a spare one handy. They strip easy i find, particularly if someones tried before.

The job is as simple as it seems - you undo the hose connection at whatever end is easier to access, then the two large bolts holding the cylinder onto the mounting plate. Put the new one back in and bleed the system. It can be done in about 10 minutes, if you have easy access.

In your case I think your car has a booster and AC radiator in the front and a computer.
That's a problem. You'll have to work around the AC, so remove the computer, bracket, air cleaner and anything else you can and see how much room is there. If it's not enough the booster may have to come out but that should be a last resort. Job can be done with it in there.

Access is the biggest problem. Get a photo or see if you can get a hand down there to loosen the bolts. If its all an issue or too hard, I'll be over that neck of the woods in a week or two, so might be able to help.

thats fantastic mate, I have 10 days to go til I have all the time on my hands, I have the Slave cylinder ordered but the other parts I have no idea about, but can order them and when I have everythibng I need I hope to have a go at it, but some supervision, ( Even in spirit) would be appreciated.

It's not too difficult mate

When you look at the parts in your hands, and the way they're arranged on the car it should fall into place quite easily.

If you've bled things before it will be nice and easy.
I would definitely replace the rubber hose, unless you know how old it is.


The hardest part of the operation is putting the spring back on. If you manage not to stick it through your hand then you're doing it better than most people.

Bot sure if this is the case with all cars or just mine, but the bolts holding down the cylinder to the car, if they are not tack welded onto the body will require 2 people to tighten them up, one person tightening the nut under the bonnet and the other on is back, upside down holding the bolt still in the pedal area. Could possibly be done by one person if you remove the driver side door

Mine aren't tacked down and just loose bolts and nuts

Chong, they are talking about the clutch slave cylinder (on the motor)- you are talking about the clutch MC. Different animals..
