I have finally got the bottle to have a go at changing my slave and master clutch cylinder. The parts should be here tomorrow... has anyone got any tips that would help me change these ? any help is much appriciated.

simple enough to do.
Just have a decent socket set,think 10mm for master bolts and 13mm for slave bolts.
I used an easy bleed when i did mine recently,but you can bleed it without!

I may seem a bit thick, but i'm not actually sure how the whole thing works... obviously when i press the pedal, it forces hydraulic fluid through the system to oporate the clutch, but i still can't quite get my head round how it all works. Suppose it may be a bit clearer when i see the parts.

fluid in reservoir,press the pedal,goes through master cyl,down pipe to slave cyl which then pushes the fork in the box operating the clutch.

Best description i can give
