2001 Ford F-250 Super Duty Clutch Slave Cylinder Parts Q&A

• Q: How to service and repair the clutch slave cylinder on 2001 Ford F-250 Super Duty?

  A: Starting the clutch slave cylinder repair procedure requires lifting and suspending your vehicle first. The slave cylinder requires twisting motion while compressed to unlock and remove it from the transmission. The removal process should involve thorough cleaning of both components to stop contaminants from accessing the hydraulic system. Set the slave cylinder next to a proper container before separating it from the hydraulic tube. To disconnect the slave cylinder use a 3/32-inch punch, hammer and discard the roll pin before you separate the hydraulic tube from the slave cylinder. Keep note that an O-ring seal might stay within the slave cylinder before you discard it and put a cap on the hydraulic tube end. When installing the slave cylinder position it above an appropriate container while angling the hydraulic tube connection port above the push rod. Then fill it with DOT 3 brake fluid that meets Ford specifications ESA-M6C25-A such as Ford High Performance DOT 3 Motor Vehicle Brake Fluid C6AZ-19542-AB or equivalent DOT 3 products. Remove the hydraulic tube cap before applying new 0-ring sealing material with DOT 3 fluid to its opening. Hang the slave cylinder onto the hydraulic tube while installing its new roll pin. After that bleed the clutch hydraulic system. Complete the slave cylinder installation by compressing and twisting it then secure it on the transmission followed by vehicle lowering before conducting a normal operation test.
