    Clutch Master Cylinder Failure

    The plastic arm that connects to the clutch pedal broke and left me stranded. I also noticed that the master cylinder has been leaking, which probably explains my low clutch engagement. A replacement master cylinder and clutch pedal bushing is on order.
    Any tips or tricks for the repair?
    Any bleeding procedures needed for the master slave cylinder or is this all done at the slave?

    I'd remove the seat unless you like contorting yourself under the dash... it's quick to remove the seat and saves a lot of stress
    Bled mine from the slave and its been fine. Took no more than a few minutes.

    I'll remove the seat before the part arrives. Thanks!!
