Excellent video! This is not a difficult job, but does take a lot of patience, I found I needed to make up a lot of special spanners to get the various fixings , I also had to do the job twice as the new master cylinder had a crack in the inlet port, so I got better at it the second time around, I know it is too late now , but it would have been a good idea to replace the slave cylinder at the same time, mine is a 2003 and both were less than perfect, I also replaced the master cylinder with the small bore type which makes a bit difference to the clutch pedal operation, replacing the slave cylinder requires multiply sizes of spanner, and is a real test of patience!

Your videos are very helpful to me I’m building a defender 110 at the moment just got my new galved chassis and bulkhead I feel out of my depth and your videos help thanks
Hi at first I used one of those self bleed devices but did not get good results . I eventually persuaded my wife to help me and after a while the job was done , I found this took a lot of bleeding so if you are doing this job be patient it takes some bleeding . Good Luck 👍
remove the cover that is under bonnet, with in that there is the rod with 3 nut on one of the nuts is a locking nut loosen this then adjust accoringly . I had to modify a spanner to do this ,. This is all from memory I know it was short while ago but it was one of those jobs I hoped to fit and forget. Thank you

Thank you That is my dream to build a defender. thank you and good luck.
It’s possible to change without taking the foot peddle frame off. I did it by bending a ratchet spanner. Nice video.
How did you bleed the brake fluid?

if you are looking for the bleed nipple it is on the right hand side of the defender above the clutch slave cylinder . Thank you
Great video as usual, have to do mine soon, would loveto borrow your assistant
Did you readjust the freeplay?
Hi yes slightly I think it could do with just a bit more adjustment . You know Fine adjustment if that is at all possible. Thank you
@@TD5PRESERVATION-1428 how did you adjust it? 140mm from floor and +/-6mm play in pedal?

@@TD5PRESERVATION-1428 13mm spanner right?
@@garthbawden5550 But you will find it much easier if you grind the spanner with very narrow "jaws" it make the job much easier.
