Default Mcleod master rebuild

Does anyone have a write up for replaced the seals in this thing? The GF's new Trans AM has one in it and it is leaking out of the upper seal where the boot cover up the top of the cylinder.

I would love to put a Tick in it, but funds arent there for her car to do that at the moment, plus I would like to see the difference in my Tick compared to the Mcleod

13/16th bore steel cylinder

Thanks I dont think there is much to it tho.

How old is your unit? If the rubber boot says CNC on it you'll need to contact them direct for the rebuild kit.

No it is not a CNC and I have contacted them and purchased the seal kit from them, just wondering if it is difficult to replace these seals;.

The guy on the phone said it had to be removed from the car to remove the snap ring. Trust me if that is the only reason why it needs to be removed, I have plenty of room to remove that front snap ring. I will just cover up the carpet and remove the seals and replace them in the car.

It's so simple to rebuild. Takes all of 10min. Pulled mine out to do it though.

I'm sure you could, but it seemed easier to just pull it out then wrestle with room. I have big hands and a broad chest so squirming around to just connect/disconnect the pedal is a feat for me lol
