Clutch Master Cylinder replacement
Hey,
I'm new here and have a quick question, I apologize if its not in the right format. I'm attempting to replace the clutch master cylinder on my 1996 ranger 4.0, 4X4. I've removed the clip that holds the "plunger" onto the clutch pedal arm. I've also removed the clutch/starter interlock switch.
Now it looks like I'm simply supposed to twist the master cylinder assembly so that I can slide it out through the firewall. And then tap out a small pin to remove the line that goes to the transmission Is this right? The master cylinder seems to have a little bit of play, but it won't turn enough to line up correctly with the hole. Should I remove the line going to the clutch first?
I also need to know the best way to bleed air out of the system after I get it installed.
Thanks,
Brandon

Actually once you have it all back together you open the bleeder at the slave and fill with fluid. This is a gravity system and I am sure you see the problem with the master and its angle. So this is what I do.
inside the cab, pull the starter interlock from the clutch rod, disconnect the rod from the pedal arm. You will see a snapring in the master over the piston. Pull the the snapring, pull the piston till just the air and a little fluid escapes, pump the master a couple of strokes repeat the above, reasemble than bleed per the manual, open the bleeder and let gravity bleed. Might have to bleed the bleeder a couple of times, biggest thing is the air in the master.
