Home Mechanics this is my experience replacing and bleeding the clutch and slave cylinders on 93 325i. It was a BITCH!!! You're best friend is gonna be a flex joint 10mm socket with extension, luckily I could hook it up to my micro Ryobi driver.

Hello a thank you for very informative video, i have just one question. I am changing clutch cylinders on my 94 325i and i have a trouble disconnecting the main clutch cylinder from the metal line. There is just no space for my hand even if i removed three relays and two circle connectors near fuse box. So i want to ask, when you say that is neccesary to disconnect metal line and rubber hose, is it because you can than pull MCC with the metal line inside the car and disconnect it there?

@Litovel1 No worries- If I remember you can remove the MC once you disconnect metal line at the junction, see 2:36, then I think you can pull the MC out with the metal line attached. You have to disconnect at that junction to have access to the nut, then you can pull MC forward exposing the connection enough to unscrew with 10mm open end if I remember, or maybe even pull it out completely, good luck!

The seringue method is the sh?&%$& my friend!! It worked like a charm on my car. Took me 5mins and I did it alone!!

@johnnystock Cool-- glad it worked!!

[johnnystock]

nice video...I'm scaring my neighboors too with nice swearing!! I have the same freaking problem with the pressure; nothing at all. I'll get the seringue and try again. If it works, youre my hero.

@johnnystock Ha yeah I was swearing at full blast, upside down sideways you name it!! Try the syringe-- if that doesn't work try the oil can from under neath, connect a feeder tube to the slave on tranny, and squirt it till it comes out the reservoir, I saw a youtube vid on it-- its genius...

@inthetubedeep I finally got it. MC can be disconnected just by pulling him inside passanger compartment. (it requieres some force because of the rubber seal) then just take 2 wrenches 10 and 11 mm, nut it itself is 11mm, put 10 mm wrench behind the nut so after you disconnect it stays where you need it for reassembly. So it is not neccesary to disconect the hoses beneath the car. Again thanks for your video.

@mustmike95 Cool glad it helped!

DUDE! This SO worked! It saved my Brother over $300 in an estimate from a local garage to replace his slave cylinder... Cost him under $10 bucks to get his pedal to full attention again. THANKS AGAIN!!
