    My clutch master cylinder is leaking a little bit. I found the part is cheap, but is replacing this part easy or inexpensive? I'm not sure I could do it by myself. Can anyone help me?

    it isnt too complicated but u might want to have a friend to come and help bleed the clutch.... its pretty much taking out the old one and replacing it with the new one. good luck

    pretty straight forward. take the old one off put new one in. youll have to bleed it from the slave cylinder when your done

    Cool. Thanks guys. Gonna attempt to tackle this with a buddy/neighbor tomorrow. :) Right now its not leaking too bad, but I'd rather get it replaced while I remember and before it becomes a bigger problem :)

    Like everyone else said it's a pretty easy job just pay attention to how you take stuff off so you can put the new parts back in correctly.

    Finished!!!

    Me and my neighbor finally had time to do it tonight. Me and him replaced the Clutch Master Cylinder then replaced the Clutch Slave Cylinder just so I'm not having an issue later with the Slave. Added Fluid, Bled the Clutch Cylinder, Added Fluid, Bled the Clutch Cylinder. Repeated a couple times to make sure there was no air in the lines. Everything is good now. It wasnt as hard as I thought it was gonna be. My neighbor mostly guided me and I did most of it on my own. Glad its done! :clapping:
