Hi everybody was just wondering im at the point where im about to as i type this to remove my 1.2 8v gearbox as im doing the input shaft bearing on it.... my question is because i am on my own with no help at all i need to remove the slave cylinder but someone has said cable tie it to stop the piston from coming out could someone elaborate a little more maybe a pic would help? like i said im sat here and dont want to go any further untill i know how to cable tie it, so far ive replaced passenger cv joint and when i get the box out i will be doing the driver side but im stuck and at the moment im looking at a late finish

thanks anyone who can let me know in the next half hour if poss

oh dear
hope you had some kip under there while waiting for answers
is it done?

I did the bearing by just removing the selector part.

thanks all sorted now, the problem also i was having was alot of the bolts especially on the suspension side of things was snapping or had to be cut off on both sides so i replaced them all afterwards with stainless steel

Methinks Ziggy has shares in a copper mine somewhere...!

Seriously, though, when I used to work on my own cars, I used to get through buckets of the stuff....

Nah i have a halfrauds trade card (love it btw)

Big DIY tube is like £3 or £4 to me

I love the stuff, makes tight situations alot easier (removal)

And prevents seizure later on if removal is needed
