2002 Ford F-250 Super Duty Clutch Slave Cylinder Parts Q&A

• Q: How to service and repair the clutch slave cylinder on 2002 Ford F-250 Super Duty?

  A: First service and repair operations for the clutch slave cylinder begin with raising and supporting the vehicle properly. The service technician should extract the slave cylinder from the transmission by both compressing and twisting it. Dismount the slave cylinder from the transmission while compressing it before removing it for cleaning. Execute this process to prevent contamination in the hydraulic system. A suitable container needs placement under the cylinder while disconnecting it from its hydraulic connection. Drive out the roll pin with a 3/32-inch punch while using a hammer and then dispose of the retrieved pin. After removing the O-ring seal from the hydraulic tube end discard it followed by hydraulically connecting a cap to protect the opening of the tube. Place the slave cylinder over a suitable container with the hydraulic tube connection port above the push rod while filling it with DOT 3 brake fluid that matches Ford High Performance DOT 3 Motor Vehicle Brake Fluid C6AZ-19542-AB or an equivalent specified by Ford specification ESA-M6C25-A. After removing the hydraulic tube opening cap install an O-ring seal on the tube end then cover it with DOT 3 brake fluid. Once the slave cylinder connects to the hydraulic tube install its new roll pin while completing the bleed procedure of the clutch hydraulic system. To complete the installation insert the slave cylinder after compressing its ends and rotating it to secure it against the transmission followed by vehicle lowering for normal system testing.
