  Q: How to Properly Maintain and Fix a Clutch Slave Cylinder on a Lincoln LS?

  A: Starting the clutch slave cylinder service requires transmission removal alongside disconnecting the hydraulic tube before moving on to the bolts for removing the slave cylinder. Remove first the slave cylinder bolts and then detach the drain tube from the unit. The clutch release hub and bearing come factory pre-lubricated so cleaning them with solvent is prohibited while their installation should remain as an assembly without any separation for inspection purposes. Scrape away all oil and dirt residues from the clutch release hub then bearing. To check the clutch release hub and bearing performance rotate the outer race with pressure-application along with bearing rotation evaluation for roughness indications as an indicator to choose new clutch release hub and bearing replacement. Search for surface damages that might affect clutch release hub and bearing sliding motion before polishing detected imperfections using fine-grade emery paper. The installation process concludes after you repeat the uninstallation actions while performing clutch hydraulic system bleeding.
