To Dismantle/Assemble

TO DISMANTLE





1. Remove the release bearing from the slave cylinder.
2. Press out the slave cylinder sleeve and remove the 0-ring from the sleeve flange.
3. Remove the piston and lip seal.

TO ASSEMBLE





- Make sure that the slave cylinder is thoroughly clean. Wash the parts with brake fluid or a special cleaning fluid for hydraulic brake components, e.g. a mixture of white spirit and acetone.
- Never allow the lip seal to come into contact with mineral oil.
- Apply a thin coat of Castro Rubber Grease to the lip seal (not in the groove) and to the piston (but not to the 0-ring).
1. Fit a new 0-ring to the sleeve flange.
2. Fit a new lip seal to the sleeve, dip the sleeve flange in brake fluid and insert the sleeve into the cylinder. Push the lip seal part of the way into the cylinder.
3. Align the sleeve and cylinder by inserting the piston. The piston should be fitted with the circlip, and the 0-ring and dust cover with the circlip.
4. Place the slave cylinder on a suitable support, such as an old slave cylinder piston, and press the sleeve into the cylinder.
5. Fit the release bearing to the piston. Make sure that the bearing faces the right way.





The hardened side of the release bearing must face towards the clutch

NEW SLAVE CYLINDER
A new slave cylinder with 0-ring seals and an improved release bearing have been introduced on the 1985 model with the B202 engine as from chassis number: AF1002757

NOTE: The new release bearing can be fitted only to the new slave cylinder.





1. Sleeve
2. Slave cylinder housing
3. Piston

Make sure that the 0-rings are not twisted when they are in their groves.
Apply a thin coat of Castro Rubber Grease to the piston.
3. Fit the dust cover with circlip.





4. Press the piston into the cylinder housing. Make sure that the surface to which the release bearing is fitted is so far out that the bearing will remain in position.





5. Press the sleeve into the piston.
6. Fit the release bearing.
