Clutch replacement

[Bhoesl]

You're not going to beat flat rate on this one. Double double check everything especially the bolts that require measured torque.

Nope, and definitely not trying to. But I am saving a lot of money and learning along the way.
Thanks again for all your help and advice!

Well, it’s all put back together, except when I went to bleed the clutch I discovered a leak in the hydraulic line between the master and slave cylinder. Can’t get one locally so I’ll have to order one. Leaning toward the flexible braided stainless line over the hard line. Anyone used these?
Seems like routing and installation would be a lot easier.

OEM or cheap plastic lined Chinese parts? Go for the lifetime guarantee Chinese Oriely stuff. Labor is cheap.

Just wanted to give everyone an update, the project is finally finished and the truck is back on the road. I was away from town for work for awhile and couldn't work on it but I finally got the new hydraulic line put in and bled. Shifts nicely, no visible leaks... I'd call it a success!! Thanks again @Redmt and everyone else for the advice along the way. This was definitely the biggest vehicle job I've ever tackled alone.

Righty tighty, lefty loosely. So easy a cave man could do it. I'm glad it worked out well for you.
