It was not that long ago a few months ago i had to purchase a prebled clutch master/slave cylinder unit from advance. It all worked great till today i went for the clutch pedal and it was all the way up touching my e brake pop lever. Well sure as crap as always i cant find the receipt to my purchase and top it off a buddy helped swap the units out and i dont know exactly what he did.

So heres what im getting at, can this rod be inserted back in to where it STAYS in? I noticed on the little ball at the end there was theres a ledge/chamfer type deal that there were burrs and a little small chunks rounded out. well i took a file and shaped it back right. but how does it hold in there because im pretty sure last time it either came in one piece or we just snapped it in and it never came back out? AHHH idk im just in need of dire help because i dont have 150 to go buy ANOTHER one... Im in the process of going to call and see if they can look up my purchase just in case.

 

Usually once they pop out like that you're better off getting a new one. They do sell them separately if you don't want to buy another pre-bled unit, but if you go that route you'll need to pump it enough times with the master cylinder lid off to bleed the air out of the system.

It's been a while, but it seems like you end up having to angle everything just right and then pull the slave from the bell housing and pump that to get all the air out. Remember if you pull the slave there's a little rubber tip with "wings" on the end of it so pull it out slowly so the tip doesn't fall off in the bell housing.
