Need Some Opinions from Those who've done this before...

Hey guys,

Many of you have helped me with my clutch master cylinder problem I've been having.

A member on here has offered me a master cylinder for a GREAT price, but I don't have the money just yet (yada, yada).

Until then, I am thinking of rebuilding it to limp me through until next pay when I can get a brand new one.

So, here's the question(s). Does rebuilding it give me enough reliability (need 2 weeks)? What rebuild kit should I use? What's the HARDEST part of doing it? Are there any special tools you think I'll need?

Any other tips/tricks you guys have would also be great. Like I said, I'm not planning on using the rebuild kit to last forever (or whatever), just to get me through. I HATE, and never do, buying cheap parts and such because I like reliability. This just happened at a VERY bad time.

Thanks guys,

-ian

isnt a rebuild kit like $40? You can get a new one with slave for $60 on ebay. Why waste the time rebuilding it?
