87MJTIM Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 Getting the parts together for the AX15 install. The AX came from a '98 XJ, so it is ext slave. What have others done for the clutch hydraulic conversion? My choices are to purchase a pre-bled master/slave system. Rockauto sells some for around $125. Or I can get just a slave and hydraulic line for about the same price as the whole system, and keep the master cylinder that I have. The problem with the second option is that I don't know the bore size on the master, so I don't know what bore size slave to get.
88whitemanche Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 Get the pre-bled system. It will save you time and money and headaches I thought I could save some money for a used system...and I'm right up with the cost of a prebled system after trial and error...smh
87MJTIM Posted June 20, 2015 Author Posted June 20, 2015 I kinda answered my own question. I just want to see what others have done.
Megadan Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 I used a pre-bled setup. It saves quite a bit of time. The only thing to be aware of is you may have to shave a bit off of the rod end that connects to the pedal so you can feed the cotter pin in completely. I had to take about 1/16th to 1/8th of an inch off of mine.
87Warrior Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 When I did the late model external conversion in my '86 2.5 with a YJ AX5, I pieced together the clutch hydrologic system from various NEW parts (slave, master, hydrologic hose). The cost was significantly less than the pre bled systems and I have piece of mind knowing exactly what fluid is in there. Bleeding the system took about 15 minutes and has been trouble free since.
