Clutch Slave Cylinder? How hard is to replace it

I'm thinking to give it a shot and replace the clutch slave cylinder- I do have a spare one, clutch feels super soft, grabs up top, i do have aftermarket clutch with light flywheel, i know it's hard to drive a P car with aftermarket clutch, but I think my slave cylinder is faulty.

Is there anyway to test it? If it's holding pressure..? I see something like, try to pump the clutch with the car shut off, until the clutch gets super hard, i don't think my clutch gets super hard at all. i may have a leak?...


I found some info, on how to replace it, below, if you guys know any other sites, on how to, that be awesome....

My local mechanic wants to charge me $600+extras, like fluid. just for labor.

I did replace fuel pump on my car, and front radiator that was leaking.

I think i can replace the clutch slave cylinder myself, and i do have the Bleeder kit....

I have a slave and essentially new accumulator for sale if you need either.

If it never gets hard, it is probably OK. When mine was toast, it would get hard on the second pump. I think the manual says something like 35 pumps for a fully functional setup - but this reflect the status of the accumulator - not the slave.

We can have a clutch slave changing party... I'm likely about due for mine.

not a fun job. i'd pay 600 to have someone else drip pent on themselves.

accumulator is easier and about half the hassle lol

( it's a two hour job, so "book time" is probably four ha )
