Thanks very much for answering me. I'm very frustrated. Yes the reservoir is always full. Should I keep the cap on or off reservoir? Most of the time the level doesn't change, a few time it did. Every time I get a very small restriction in the pedal, then try to bleed it acts like it's going to work, but soon as I open the bleeder screw I get fluid and pressure, then tighten the bleeder screw before the fluid stops coming out, when she raises and pumps the pedal were back to NO restriction at all????

Tyler,
I have just replaced my Clutch Master Cylinder as per your video. It was a snap, thanks. But I have a major problem. I can’t get the system bleed. I thought it was a bad part so I took it back and got a new one. I installed it and filled the clutch reservoir up, pressed on the clutch had small amount resistance about ½ way down. I got a friend to press on the clutch down while I opened the bleeder fitting, It push out fluid with pressure. While the pedal was on the floor I tighten the bleed fitting up and ask her to pump the pedal and she said there is no more pressure? Tried this a dozen times, can’t get pressure?? Please help. Thanks

Ron Stark says:

were you were bleeding it is the second master cylinder, on my 1987 YJ you have to drop the transmission to get to it. after 87 the second master cylinder can be removed from the out side of the bell housing.

Doug Harlow says:

Is that a special "O" ring and what size and where to buy. Also is it possible to remove the roll pin before you remove the master?

Doug Harlow says:

Thanks, great information,
I would like to see how to install the clutch master that has the hose already attached to the master from the parts store. Where and how would you attached the other end, and what to watch out for.

Snipercraft! Awesome.

Tyler Hardy says:

great video. I've gotta do this next weekend. thanks alot, keep the YJ videos coming.

Dwayne says:

If you had any of the fluid from the clutch master cylinder leaking out… CHECK THE HARNESS CONNECTOR THRU THE FIREWALL BENEATH IT!

The brake fluid attacks that hard plastic and it just disintegrates after a while… Nice job, Jeep engineers! Well thought out!

Plamen Mitev says:

Your brake booster has corrosion too! 🙂

neoblanks says:

now if you could show us how to change out the clutch, fly wheel, and slave unit and i would be golden!!!!

Frederick Kaludis says:

I did the same thing on my little Honda. But years ago I had a 1958 ford truck and didn't understand the eccentric bolt on the push rod. Learned to pump up my brakes.

Joshua Everett says:

you should get the JCR yj rocksliders for your jeep since you said that yours were too heavy.

Thorin192 says:

Russell Hemenway says:
