Hey guys my car is running now and good to go but after unbolting the clutch hydraulic thingy lol that pushing the lever on the gearbox to open the clutch itself I can't get it back in place to do up the 2 bolts.

So right now IDE love to go for a drive but I can't as I can engage the clutch without it bolted up, is there a certain way you need to go about it to be able to do so because it's to long to fit back in and bolt up? Thanks

It may have jammed. Mine did this not long ago

If so take it to a brake shop and get them to re-kit it or sleeve it if its to far gone

Should be able to push the internals out and give the inside a light sand if its not to bad. Then if the seal is still ok you should be right to re-use it

If it has just light rust its fine to clean it up a bit. Honing it with a small hone would be best if you wanted to go buy one

Mine just had light surface rust near the end where the piston was not running. I gave it a light cleanup and it probably would have been OK to run again but decided to go get it refurbed.

They can be reconditioned alot cheaper then buying a new one so no need to throw it in the bin unless its completely f**ked. They can re-sleeve it anyway. Mine was going to be sleeved for $50 but turned out it was fine for just a hone, even after id cleaned it up

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
