Jeep Wrangler JK Clutch Slave Hydraulic Line Leak and O-ring Info

[@sjp1646]

Two days of swimming in dot 4 fluid, dropping tiny clips and rubber nipples into the road, and your video finally explains why my cylinder refused to stop leaking. I owe you a beer!

[@bindaredundat-uv6wz]

DOT 3

[@Benzo4prezi]

Cheers mate me right now

[@korybertrand1687]

Same, lol owe this guy a beer.

[@monkeydznutz7620]

Dude this just helped me save $100 and 2 weeks of waiting on my 2010 mazda 3. It’s the same thing. Thank you

[@jwpb1932]

Ahaha literally the issue I'm having on my 2010 mps 😂. I ordered a braided line but almost thinking about finding a replacement seal to get it running.

[@goatinamoatproductions6975]

So glad you guys are all still benefiting from my tears. LOL. I’m about to change my slave again and experiencing PTSD after the last time. LOL. Cheers!

[@terrydunlap]

What should have been an hour or less job took me over 6 hours until someone sent me your video! I wish I had seen your video before I started my replacement job. In addition to wasted time, I also wasted a large bottle -- 32 oz -- of break fluid as I repeatedly removed, replaced, removed, replaced the salve cylinder thinking I was doing something wrong. I almost sent the part back as defective. I am so thankful for your video, Steve! 🍻

[@jefferycookable]

You are my savior. After bleeding the system a handful of times and the clutch pedal gaining/losing pressure this was my issue. Video definitely helped explain how to seat the ring correctly. Again thanks a ton. Now to get my jeep off the side of the road!

[@paulvillere2321]

Absolutely the video I needed, was just about to call the customer and tell him he needed a new master to slave hard line. You just saved this guy some money.

[@chadjohnson8548]

I'm actually having this problem right now and luckily found this video. I now know I definitely don't have it seeded all the way thanks a lot man! Really helpful!

[@TFWS6]

You just fixed the Jeep I bought! The seal was shoved up into the master cylinder. I popped it out and seated it as you’ve shown. Now there’s no leakage.

[@johnharvey1985]

Thank you, thank you, thank you... at last I finally found your video. I have wasted a whole week on and off trying to stop this leak! My car is a Skoda Octavia with the same set up. Did I say thank you? Oh yes... thank you.

[@1MarkBevans]

I owe you a case of beer! You saved my mental health as I thought I was going crazy!! Well done!

[@knightmare20]

Man, if I had only found this yesterday, would have saved me hours of frustration. Thanks for the vid

[@AndyBuscemi]

the amount of time and money you just saved me with my 2010 JK....Brother...THANK YOU!

[@Birminghamoutlaws]

Thank god i finally found a video uno how iv been busting my brain put extra rubber washers in there trying to make it stop leak all because i didnt push it all the way on properly 🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️ thank you even the simplest videos on KZbin helps sometimes

[@ahmu863]

You saved my ass man... had to replace clutch and all that... 5 day job then the cylinder leaked and my dad was pissed... thank you

[@colewalsh5768]

Thanks Steven you saved my ass. The final part of the video showing how to properly seat the o-ring was my missing link

[@gizmoenterprises3467]

I owe you a beer. Saved our trip stuck on the side of the highway in wyoming.

[@mattvanderploeg6643]

Holy cow, just saved me after a bunch of frustration. I couldn't figure out why it kept leaking. Thanks.

[@bingcha-ling3998]

you're like the only one on the internet with a video like this. thank you so much.

[@mrdestroyer7815]

Had a mini Cooper doing exact same thing appreciate your video

[@Moluaa]

Thank you for posting this video, just saved me so much stress & probably €300, could not figure out why the fluid leak wouldn't stop, I was putting the Oring on backwards 🤬🤣

[@1george]

Recently bought the rubber seal but it comes with an o-ring. From what I gather on the video the rubber seal should work without the o-ring right? If not where does the o-ring go?

[@johnnewman3589]

I think I just did the same thing. This PLASTIC JUNK master cylinder in the footwell is seriously the worst job ever. After causing myself all sorts of pain, neck cramps etc trying to get up in there for over an hour, I changed it and put everything back together ... only to then get fluid dripping out of the line. That nipple went flying off, the line was VERY hard to separate, and I definitely didn't snap it back on like that, just kinda placed it nicely. It felt right at the time. Just like in the video. So tomorrow ... take EVERYTHING back apart, and hope that's all it is. When I did the slave cylinder last year, that connector separated real easy, and I didn't have any problems. This one took a serious pry and flew apart.

[@ianfosterUSA]

Great advice, I replaced my clutch and couldn't work out why this was leaking!!! Thanks

[@triplezero1460]

Just happened to me today could not explain why it was still leaking but now i know. Thanks 👍🏽

[@Bw-jz7er]

When they come in a set where does the small oring go? I see that part clips over but theres a normal oring in the packet?

[@lakeschoolrestorationchann1567]

Yep, found this out earlier tonight. The end rubber was stuck in the slave cylinder I replaced. Made a mess. Excellent tip, if I only found this a few hours ago 😂

[@AlexLV0049]

Exactly what i was looking for! Thanks a lot!

[@chrisemerson7743]

Damn man I knew if I kept researching this I would figure out what is going on. I have been through 3 of these things in the past year. I’ve been pulling my freakin hair out. This is the only video that somebody has addressed this issue. People been looking at me like I got a finger growing out of my forehead. “It shouldn’t be leaking”! Thank u for going over this issue. Ur right it snaps in like it should but without that o-ring it won’t work.

[@joel.3112]

Man you are a blessing! Thanks for your video....

[@sonshine6721]

Thanks you Steve, this video was a life saver.

[@davidgoodliffe3168]

Thanks Steve. Totally fixed my problem. As others have said. I owe you a beer.

[@rallywrx22]

Thank you for this video Sir! This problem was driving me insane..lol

[@christophercamillo1937]

Life saver Thank you for doing this. Very much appreciated!

[@stevesevenlakes4589]

Hey if it helped one person I'm psyched!

[@bositouchiha]

I'm noticing that this seal is the one I'm missing for my Volkswagen golf

[@ChicanoSlots]

Bro thanks for this video. I replaced the clutch master cylinder on my 2013 ford fiesta and couldn't figure out why it kept leaking.. wasted alot of dot3 and frustration

[@controlaltdelete1824]

Best visual on the isseue ive seen 👌 thanks

[@rroonnccllee2719]

Saturn ion same problem fixed after wasted hours thank you

[@gitmac53]

Having this problem now, replaced the slave cylinder a month ago and it was working fine until yesterday... leaking from that spot (Clutch all the way to the floor) just ordered the upper line but my question is, does the black plastic piece (the one the bushing attaches to) supposed to stay on the upper hose? Or is it removable because mine is completely off from it, actually brought it with me to the auto parts to see if they had just that piece by itself

[@fourbypete]

What is wrong with FCA coming up with a design like this. What is wrong with a screw and flared pipe setup? Doesanyone know if there is a way to change the slave cylinder to a more rugged setup?

[@Bw-jz7er]

Did you find out?

[@fourbypete]

​@@Bw-jz7erNo, not that I know of. The video explains why a lot of people that fix their vehicles at home have problems. Actually the slave cylinder should come with the replacement parts and an itemised list so people know. It probably won't happen because Jeep has filed for bankruptcy.

[@jaykent6645]

Thanks for the video, any idea the name of the fitting and or rubber sealing washer? Regards Jay

[@stevesevenlakes4589]

This is great guys. Thanks for the feedback!

[@noelrawlinson2388]

Guys I know this video is old but my guy this video is the bomb I fixed my car

[@jeremywilliams4381]

Good lord man, I'm having this exact problem right now with my rubicon, went through 2 large bottle of dot 4 and have taken out the slave and reinstalled it no less than 10 times. I never pushed the rubber nipple all the way onto the line, I'd just push it on till it felt snug. Gonna do this first thing tomorrow.

[@gomerdubs]

Your an absolute shinning light 🌟I'm having exactly the same issue with my R53 mini

[@himzooglecevac9356]

There is an O ring inside the rubber?

[@davesterl]

You can buy this little seal from vw

[@keithdorrisful]

Is that OEM number? 1K0798741

[@heathercarleton4028]

Do you have a part number for the actual line?

[@shaneblankenship8647]

I need the line too!?

[@gustavomiron6043]

Did jeep change the design. My 2017 wrangler does not have it.

[@germangparedes]

Is there a place in this world where I can find this rubber part? I have a Ford Fiesta, and I have the same problem now. I can't find the rubber part. Your video is great, thanks!

[@MrQueserongue]

Bro thanks for this video it save my life -!!

[@bindaredundat-uv6wz]

[@toliykosmin5968]

[@timsterkhim653]

[@javiermartinez2360]

[@MotoSurgeon]

[@shaneblankenship8647]

What is the part name for that tube??

[@darrenwilliamson3614]

Thanks for the info. Just came happened to me on my renault trafic. Thinking why the hell is it still leaking. I lost it but they sell them on ebay

[@mur5364]

Thanks for the information you gave. I was doing it wrong for the last three days

[@siegfriedwinkler8554]

This video helps a lot thank you.

[@brettm720]

I can't get the line to snap into the master cylinder. Is it supposed to push in really hard?

[@goatinamoatproductions6975]

BRETT m check to make sure O RING is properly seated. Also make sure old ORING is out of the hole. It should go in with a little pressure. Once it seats you can push the retainer clip in.

[@diegoforest]

Great info to have before I replace!

[@skoda110]

thanks mate. just found mine!!! on the floor

[@rccipriani]

Anyone know where to get that seal without buying a new clutch pipe? My Saturn has the same setup...I think it fell down inside the bellhousing.

[@goatinamoatproductions6975]

Robert Cipriani not sure about Saturn but for Jeep I needed a whole new line from dealership.

[@salvadorsoto4954]

Thank you very muck Steve Moss

[@jayjay-bi7me]

That rubber can be purchased on it own

[@elguapo7722]

When I pulled the hydraulic line out of the old slave, there was no little rubber cap. I did it slow are carefully and I'm certain it didn't fly off and roll away. I looked inside and even smashed the slave open with a hammer and it wasn't there. The boot was torn on the old one though. I inserted the line into the new slave, removed the master cylinder cap and pumped it by hand until it had pressure. Then I bolted it up and pressed the clutch about 50 times. Jeep was parked facing up hill. I then put the cap back on and drove it around the block. It works perfectly fine. I checked the slave and no leaks. My question to anybody and everybody is, has anyone experienced this also? Not having the little rubber cap? I haven't driven it far yet so if it starts leaking I know why. But so far so good and it's interesting that there was no cap present. 🤷‍♂️ Does anyone know the part number for the hydraulic line? Just incase.
