Clutch Slave Cylinder Problems
 

Folks - need some input. Here is what i did, and I have no idea how or if I can fix it.

1994 chevy Z-71 with a 5 speed.
Having starter problems so I was going to try and get it out.
First i took the 2 bolts off the slave cylinder for clutch to pull it out and out of the way. Decided to hold tight on the starter work, so i put the slave cylinder back in and 2 bolts back on.

Got in the truck and the clutch had no pressure back, went to floor.
Let it back out and it is now very hard and will not even depress.
I suspected something was out of alignment at slave cylinder, so I tried about 2 or 3 times to take it out, put back in. Couldn't get the right angle to see in there to see what the deal was and I've not dealt much with these.

Can anyone give me some pics or tips on what i did wrong and if I can fix it or if the slave cylinder now needs to be replaced? I got to believe its an alignment problem of some sort, but again, this is new territory for me.

As always, many thanks!!!!!!
David

Youll probably have to bleed the slave, I just went through the samething.... On the transmission tere is a plug looking but that you can take out and with a flashlight you can see if the push rod is aligned properly. I would say bleed it, there's a blessed screw at the top back of the cylinder. I think it 1/2 inch goodluck

Make sure the resivor is nice and full of brake fuild, not to much though and just have someone push the pedal down as much as they can. Then give the bleeder a quarter turn it doesnt take much youll see fluid come out close it before they release the pedal and have them pump the pedal again. Its a thin line so it wont take much to get it free of any air
