Ack! I need help with Clutch Slave rebuild!
Ok, well I finally got the damn thing off and it was a pain in the ***.
I was cleaning it and then I heard a doink doink doink doink doink....... a little metal ball was bouncing on the floor. Its really small.. Does this belong to the slave? If so, where? I was thinking it probably went in before the nipple. Yes I had unscrewed the nipple to clean it. Everything was off/out of it.
Thanks guys.

I just ordered some SS clutch lines from Mazdatrix, so when they come in, I will put it all back together.

Now the other route--
SS lines $18
New clutch slave $40
New master clutch $65
Cant afford it, it may brake down later on the road (what doesnt?), but as long as it works now then I am cool. I dont have the money to spend $123 compared to $24.

damn where'd you get SS lines for $18? Last time I was looking at them it was like $120.

Okay, are you going to hone out the bore in the slave? Otherwise those seals may not last long. Just get a generic one from a parts store, it should be less than $30.

And no, taking off the master cylinder is not a pain, the slave is the bizznatch!
