2003 Ford F-250 Super Duty Clutch Slave Cylinder Parts Q&A

• Q: How to service and repair the clutch slave cylinder on 2003 Ford F-250 Super Duty?

  A: Vehicle elevating followed by vehicle support must occur as the primary step for clutch slave cylinder repair. The transmission slave cylinder requires removal by twisting the cylinder while compressing it. The service requires cleaning of the slave cylinder and hydraulic tube to eliminate possible system entry of contaminants. You should place a proper container below the slave cylinder then remove the tube from its hydraulic connection. A 3/32-inch punch operated with a hammer will remove the roll pin until you discard it. Cap the opening of the hydraulic tube only after removing the O-ring seal from the cylinder end and discarding it. Place the slave cylinder above a suitable container with the hydraulic tube connection port oriented above the push rod while filling it with brake fluid. Prepare a new O-ring seal for the hydraulic tube end by placing it onto the opening then treat it with brake fluid. Join the slave cylinder to the hydraulic tube by securing it while adding the new roll pin followed by hydraulic system bleaching. After compression and twisting the slave cylinder should be attached to the transmission before raising the vehicle and conducting normal operational tests on the system.
