Weeeeelllll....
There's two ways to go with that puppy. If your car has the newer bracket,
then it's a fairly simple process to yank the cylinder and replace it.
Wedge the clutch pedal down to keep it from pissing fluid all over you, or
clamp the flex.
If your car's old enough to have the old-style enclosed bracket, then
pulling the floor to get the damned thing out is a distinct possibility.
I did mine (new-style bracket) without yanking anything inside but the
carpeting and the access bung for bleeding.

Subject: Re: SIIA clutch slave
If you can get a wrench on everything that you need to then you don't have
the old bracket, most likely. The old one completely enclosed the cylinder
bottom from my memory, preventing access to the bottoms of the bolts from
below.
If you can get to both sides of the fasteners, then don't sweat it and just
go!
Also yes, power bleeding is such a time-saver. I use it myself, with a
modified brake-reservoir cap hooked to my air can, with the valve on the
air can barely cracked (ca. 10 PSI).
One other thing - it's far easier to undo the hydraulic line with the
cylinder dismounted andf hanging. In that position, all you need is an
open-end wrench on the cylinder body and another on the end of the fle4x
and the cylinder will unscrew slicker than Waxoyl...

In the 60s the Rover Diesel was sold as a marine unit by Mercruiser. I
don't if this fits the outline of your question but it is a interesting
bit of trivia.

Subject: Re: buying 2.25 diesel engine
Ronny was asking about putting a 2.5l diesel into a Series vehicle.
If you think about the 2.5D or TD it's farely easy. The only thing you
have to fiddle with is the right engine mount, since the 2.5l has a
short (~5cm) mount on the chassis and a long extender to the engine.
The old mount will interfere with the injection pump. You may have
to go with the old fan, too since the new one is a bit longer, but
I'm not quite sure about this. You'll need a new exhaust since the
2.5l has a bigger bore than the 2.3l exhaust.
If you need more info and I can give you the phone number of a guy
here in southern Germany who has done the conversion several times.
I've seen one of them recently and it looked very nice.
If you plan to fit a Tdi, it's a different story. You'll have to think
about stuffing the oil- and intercooler in and you'll need a stronger
gearbox and 1000 other bits.
Hope this helps,
Franz

The way I heard it is that petrols fill up their oils quickly with corrosive combustion products, which is why you change them twcice as often as the manufacturer suggests......Deisels accumulate less corrosives but more soot - which is one major reason desiels on average last longer (not talking about landrovers here, but in general....) - but you still change twice as often cos it's cheapo insurance...... ------------------------------[ <- Message 46 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 971114 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]
