I wish my last few posts weren't all about my rig having an unexpected breakdown, but here's another one. My clutch seemed a little weak while driving today so I parked it at the store and went inside. I came back out and when I went to start the jeep the clutch had almost no resistance until it was about an inch from the floor. I crawled underneath and found fluid leaking from the top of the slave cylinder where the lines go into it. I recently replaced the clutch and put a new slave cylinder in but had to reuse the old o-ring. I'm almost positive the o ring just blew and now the slave is leaking. My question is, can I buy any same sized o ring at a parts store and use that? Or does it require a specific o ring that only comes with a new slave cylinder? And can it be replaced/bled in the parking lot at Walmart?

 

Any o ring. Every o ring has been replaced on mine with whatever I have laying around that's the same size. Never had to replace anything after that.

 

That's a relief, thanks for the info. Do you remember what size the slave cylinder o ring was?

 

Now that I've got the o ring figured out does anyone have any input on how hard it is to bleed the slave after I put it back in? Or if it can be done in a parking lot?
