Article [13] ST1300 - Replacing the Clutch Slave Cylinder seals-Video

[MidLife]

I have a much easier, and faster method.
Takes me about 45 minutes, which includes the flush and bleed afterwards.
You just need a couple special hand tools, a center jack or floor jack.
It’s all about having the correct tools, and using the correct approach.

Oh!

The video is great, but was puzzled because I couldn't imagine how my local Honda mechanic was able to do all of that on my ST in less than one hour!

Now we know it's possible. Thanks, ST Doctor!

That video did quite a few things the difficult way.
It would have been much easier with a different approach and tools.
Just saying.
Just because someone is doing something for the first time, and videoing it, does not make it the easiest or best way to approach matters.

Great post Mr. cjames, I had a close look into your valuable tip and found a slightly easier way of getting to that 8mm bolt...



Lets hope it all goes well!

All done, I note you only need to undo that bolt a few turns to provide enough wiggle room along the pipe to get the banjo back in.
I reckon you saved me a truckload of time and skinned knuckles!

I found that the rigid line was keeping me from aligning the banjo bolt correctly. There is a single bolt holding it to the back of the engine on the left side at the bleed nipple. By just loosening the bolt I was able to finger start the banjo bolt. Doing this with the rear tire out adds more access but you should be able to do this with the rear in place. Mine was out for a tire change anyway.

I have tackled this job but for the last 2 days I was stuck with the banjo bolt that won’t go back in..thank goodness you posted this it was a life saver. I appreciate it
