I just had to rebuild my slave cylinder. It only takes about an hour even if you're slow, like me , and that includes the run to get parts. The whole kit (piston, seal, spring, and boot) only cost $10. It's amazing to have the feel of a brand new clutch in the old beast.

my clutch hyudralics went out a few days ago.
I cleaned a good inch of thick soupy black **** out of the reseviour. and the slave was fucked.
It takes skill to drive a 20 year old car 20 miles without disengaging the clutch. Thank god my mom taught me clutchless shifting (good skill to have)

If you've got enough room to get the hose off while the cylinder is still attached to the tranny, you could probably do the whole thing one handed if you're replacing the entire cylinder. There's just the hose, and the two bolts that hold the cylinder to the tranny. If you can't get the hose off before taking the cylinder off the tranny, then you'll need two hands. One to hold the cylinder as best you can, and one the loosen the hose. But you're going to need help to flush & refill the system when you get all done.

I would imagine that if you get any air in the system for an extended period of time it could begin to draw enough moisture out of the fliud to start rusting. But that's just an uneducated guess.

with all your encouragement, i did the swap this morning, took about two hours and bleeding was the easiest part, just pumped with my right foot standing out of the car and used a long extension socket on the bleed screw,, took her for a short spin, had almost forgoten the rx feeling u get when your behind the wheel...and was able to shift ok even with a cast on my arm thats from my knuckels to my shoulder (dont tell my ortho doctor, he would have a cow)........

Well congrats!! I didn't think about a long extension for the socket 'cause I don't have one myself. I just had to use a long handled ice scraper on the pedal instead.
