Help needed

[Gary Stark <redbakstark@xxxxxxxxx>]

G'day y'all,

I've been trying to put in a new clutch slave cylinder on my 87 Milano
Gold, and have struck a couple of problems.

I was having difficulty getting the hose to reconnect to it. I already
had it in place., and while removing it to try a different approach,
the pivot fork came out and  the slave disassembled itself.

So I now have a couple of questions for the assembled wisdom:

In trying to replace the pivot fork, if I put it where it seems to
want to go, there is but a little movement under pressure (1/4"?) at
the point where it would connect with the slave's plunger. Is this
right, or do I have a major disaster on my hands?

I need to clean the slave -  in brake fluid? - and reassemble. This
seems straightforward enough. Any tips or tricks here? What sort of
grease do I need?

I'm aware of the need to rotate the slave so that the bleed nipple is
at the top in order to bleed it properly. Any other thoughts?


Thanx in advance.
