Photo DIY- Clutch Master Cylinder Rebuild

Greets.

Since my truck won't start, it has given me the opportunity to take care of some other issues, one of which was my Dead Clutch Master Cylinder.

Apparently, the Rebuild sets from FAG (aka FTE) are no longer available. The only thing available is the OEM Mercedes Kit. One Plastic "Gut" to it.. Thats all.

Please note, this is for the W460.

Re: Photo DIY- Clutch Master Cylinder Rebuild

If I remember right, the bore is a standard size. About the only thing that normally would wear and need replacing is the black rubber wiper and I think if you go to a parts store they can find you one of those for a few dollars. Last time I looked the entire kit was about $160. Why MB wants to sell you all the "hard" parts along with an inexpensive rubber wiper has always been a mystery to me.

RE: Photo DIY- Clutch Master Cylinder Rebuild

Ja, I couldn't figure out why one couldn't just replace the inner "rubbers"...

I even asked Vlad if he knew of any options.... None.

It wasn't too bad, though. Only $89 bucks.

RE: Photo DIY- Clutch Master Cylinder Rebuild

There's a good possibility of those parts getting pretty rusty and pitted if ignored for a long time with water in the system.
