Okay so We said wed give the clutch and break cylinders a go! Weve decided to go the whole way with this project and actually strip the landy right down to the chassis and get it galvanised so ideally, we want to be taking everything off and restoring it before it comes back around to the time where we need to put everything back on! As you can see, our bulkhead needs a bit of work but well do that some other day down the line!
Heres the clutch cylinder before we got the spring and seals actually out of it!The solution for getting them out was WD-40 , a hammer and a vice, and just go mad!You would hit it downwards against the vice until the piston gets so far, then youd turn it around, fill it with oil and then hit it back down again, by repeating this over and over again, the piston eventually works itself out and you have yourself a nice clean chamber!
the actuall pedal boxes dont need much work, just a bit of oil and a wire brush!
After we took everything out, cleaned and oiled everything, this was the end result after reassembling!
theres just a few pictures of the wire bush effect!

Hi,
ReplyDeleteI was talking to you in the bookshop in Dublin last week... I asked my dad about helpful contacts, and he recommended I point you towards Land Rover Owner or Land Rover World magazines. Also, since Land Rovers sell in quite small numbers in the ROI, he suggests you try places in Northern Ireland for info and parts. BLRC [http://www.blrc.co.uk/] were his choice.
Hope this helps... good luck!
Helen.
thanks helen!!
ReplyDeletethats greatly appreciated, well sure keep an eye out on this blog anyway, im thinking of having the jeep done within the next two months!
I'd rather push my land rover than drive a "jeep".
