Charles - 02 Jan 2006 18:10 GMT

I have a rebuild kit for my wife's 85 900 T. I have the slave that came
out and it comes apart quite easily (this was the reason for replacing
clutch in the first place). I also have a used (and presumably working)
unit.

I see how to rebuild the failed unit as it is apart already. However, I
would like to rebuild the used unit instead, but I do not see how to get
it apart unless I just force it apart.

Is this what I should do? I cannot find clutch slave rebuilding
instructions anywhere, in my Bently manual or online at any of the
standard places.

Thanks for any help,

Charles

What's there to disassemble? The piston just comes out of the cylinder -
that's it.

If the person who wrote that up wants to create a proper web page for it I'd
want to add the link to the tech library page of my site. Forum postings are
not quite as 'static'.

The author is called Matthew and he's a fairly amenable fellow. I'm sure he
wouldn't mind you lifting the pictures to host ... Send him a PM on the
forum. Oh, his webpage, packed with yet more useful stuff, is here:

Hullo all,

Found this news thread from Craig who posted it up on 900Aero.

Glad you found the writeup useful, and thank you for the kind words! This
is the first time I have seen my stuff referred to outside of the two forums
I frequent.

The clutch thread was originally posted on SaabCentral, here:
http://www.saabcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=35662

I seem to have time for just one forum, so SaabCentral's where I devote my
efforts. I'm proud and humbled to moderate the C900 Workshop :o) I first
post any articles on SaabCentral and then re-jig them for my website when I
get the time.

Feel free to link to the hexfiles.com page and I'll add a link to your site
from mine. Please don't lift the pictures or text though...

There are some other articles there, written by others and myself. Sort of
a collection of the most useful stuff that's been posted on SaabCentral.

Thanks Paul. Matthew has been in touch with me already and we've chatted
about our respective site materials.
