class=213531623-09052015> A very light coat of grease on
the push rod to prevent rust is one thing but it appears you have a
mess on your hands and it almost looks like the rubber seal on the slave
cylinder has deteriorated.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff size=2 face=Arial><SPAN class=213531623-09052015>At the
very least you should remove the slave cylinder and rebuild
it.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff size=2 face=Arial><SPAN class=213531623-09052015>I
would also check the master cylinder, probably rebuild that and I would check
and blow Brake Kleen or similar through the hard line.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff size=2 face=Arial><SPAN class=213531623-09052015>When I
last went through my Master and slave cylinders and cleared the hard
line; I put in Silicone brake fluid.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff size=2 face=Arial><SPAN class=213531623-09052015>I also
recommend putting safety wire on the push rod to the clutch arm just
in case something goes wrong with the system. This way you don't lose the
push rod.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
