Hydro Clutch MC Rod removal

[rcamacho]

I need to add some material to the rod due to wear. How the heck do I remove it from the clutch mc? The pedal end was easy.

Looks like it's retained by a snap ring and disassembly of the mc is required.

Yes it is

Watch it after you take it apart though...I had a brand new one that was leaking through the end there, made short work of the paint on the inside of the firewall.

Hmmm I didn't think it was removable without destroying the seal?
I would get a new one and start from scratch...I hate doing things twice

IIRC there is nothing there but the rubber boot that "clips" onto the outside of the master, and the seal on the piston. Probably need to be careful re-installing the piston past the snap ring groove, and you are right, if it's old, it may be a better idea to just replace it.

I didn't notice mine was leaking for months. It was an extremely slow "leak" and I never felt it in the pedal.
