As I mentioned, the master and the slave were replaced at the same time
not long ago. No need to replace the master, or any of the hoses. It was
just a crappy slave cylinder.

Has anyone replaced their slave cylinder in recent memory? Just
wondering where you bought it, and if its still working okay :-) I don't
like buying the same part, from the same vendor, when the first one
failed so dramatically, and so quickly. The original one lasted 150K
miles. Be nice if the replacement part had gone even half of that....

Thanks,

John
