Clutch master cylinder

Judging by the wetness of the push rod on the clutch master cylinder of my
'78 Clubman, it looks like I need to overhaul the master cylinder and
therefore need to remove it.  The Black Book says, in its usual disarming
simplicity, to "1. Disconnect the pedal lever from the push-rod".  Having
spent a few hours trying to get off what appears to be a clip on the collet
connecting the two, I'm thinking there must be a trick to this.  Is there?
Actually, I want to get both master cylinders off so I can strip the engine
bay for painting anyway.

Thanks in advance,

Graham

Oh you lucky man! A bitch of a job! Recommend you remove seat and
steering wheel to improve access, unless you are only 4'6" tall and as
flexible as a Russian gymnast!

There should be a small split-pin going through the end of the clevis
pin at the top of the pedal, which you need to remove using long-nosed
pliers - access to that area is bad enough on an automatic, but near-
impossible on a manual. You can then push the clevis pin out sideways if
you move the pedal just enough to relieve the pressure.

Getting it back in is even more frustrating!

On a '78 mini, the pedal is connected to the push-rod fork of the master
cylinder by a clevis pin, with a split-pin through the clevis pin to
stop it falling out.  It's a hell of a job to get the split-pin out.
You'll need to take the air-intake hose off the heater to give you
enough space.  Try to get your hand in to straighten the split pin
(which will probably cut the ends of your fingers), and then use a pair
of long-nosed pliers to pull it out.  Once the split-pin is out you can
usually wiggle the pedal and push out the clevis pin.
Putting it all back is, as Haynes used to say, the inverse process.
Except that if anything, it's even more fiddly!

The seats are out, the heater duct is out, and I will get the steering
column out as well.  I've managed to get a loop of wire throught the eye of
the split pin which should make them easy to get out once I've straightened
the pin.  I might even fix a wire handle onto the boss end of the clevis
pins to get them back in.  Looks like I better get the Vallium in for
tomorrow then.

Thanks Chris

Well, so much for the plans of mice and men.  After battling for several
more hours today, I finally found removing the heater box was the clue.  One
clevis pin was held by a split pin, the other by a spring clip.  Spring
clip's a better idea.
Wrapping wire loop around the end of the clevis pin before withdrawing them
completely saved me from losing the pins, by the way.

Its a Zen thing really.

Whilst lying there on your back, with the cross member digging in to your
spine, after an hour or so, you develop a trance like state and you just
'think' the clevis pin out...

I have pondered a better replacement, or a panel in the bulkhead to allow
easier access, but I haven't come up with anything yet.

I used an R clip when I replaced mine. Or simply bend one leg of the split
pin so you don't have a mild steel knot to 'untie' next time.

Its a rite of passage I think.

Good luck

Peter,

Actually, the brake clevis pin was the real challenge.  Getting the split
pin out was a breeze but fluid has been leaking down the push rod for a long
time and the clevis pin was rusted in.    After soaking the clevis pin with
some super-duper penetrating, oil I managed to sneek a drift in over the
clutch pedal and then, after giving it a tickle with the blowtorch, hit it
with a big hammer and out popped the clevis pin.  So, not bad for a week's
work really!

Another rite of passage ticked off.

Come on they don't rust in with that much oil around - usually wear and
gets caught on the steps. If its difficult I just use the multi grips to
push it out.

This better be a bloody good mini your working on.

Rob,
I might have exaggerated a bit.  I should have said that I did it over the
course of a week.  But the little sod was really rusted in.
I hope it will be a bloody good mini when I've finished and I'm having fun
anyway.
