I was in the parking lot backing into a space, when I stepped on the clutch it went straight to the floor. True enough, when I checked the reservoir, it was empty. A look under the vehicle (using the nifty cargo compartment flashlight <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> ) revealed the cause, a leaking clutch slave cylinder.

This is the second time it has happened to me. The first one was a few years ago and I just had the local mechanic put in a repair/rebuild kit. This time, I'm going to change the whole slave assembly.

How hard is it to DIY this job? How do I go about removing the old and installing the new? How do I bleed the system afterwards.

Thanks.
