Post Reconmendations for clutch cylindar replacements?

Does anyone have any reconmendations for clutch master and slave cylindar replacements? I am going to start that today, and did not know if there were any tricks? The service manual did not really mention much.

I just finished replacing my slave cylinder and rebuilding the clutch master. Couple of thing to watch out for.

1. when you replace the slave make sure the actuator rod is on the stop inside the bell housing other wise you will not be able to bleed the system.

2. leave the bolt a little loose until you get the flare fitting from the hydraulic line started. It is a little difficult to get started.

3. go ahead and replace the high pressure rubber line from the master and the metal line from the hp rubber line to the slave cylinder while you are in there they run about 35 bucks for both parts. I had to go back and replace my line after I couldn't get the system to bleed after I replaced both cylinders. (the lines had small holes in them.)

4. It is easier to just rebuild the clucth master than it is to replace it.

5. Get a power bleeder or a mityvac to help you bleed the system......makes bleeding the system a one man job and much eaiser.
