Help.

I am having trouble with the clutch slave cylinder.

The rubber peice keeps piping out spilling the fluid everywhere and I jut don't know how to make it stop. I've bought a new cylinder and I keep getting the same results? Does anyone know if there is something I am doing wrong? This is pretty much the only thing that is keeping this truck off the road.

It's a 69 521 with a j16 and 4spd trans

looks like you need a longer rod, the cylinder can only move so far.

 

Pic of your old one?

@eagle_adam damn thanks that looks like that's exactly what's going on here!

Here is the pick of the new and old I swapped out the rod from the old one to the new one it really is much more longer as you can see.

same thing happens when you try to pump the brakes with the drums off   :blush:

 

there's nothing to press against the cyl to keep fluid sealed in

When I look at this photo, I gotta say I am a little worried for you, I hope that in the photo below that the piston pushed out and jammed there, because if it is loose, then you have bigger issues than a short rod, notice in the photo how the clutch arm is all the way back, that is very bad if you can hold it there with your fingers, as that would lead me to believe that you have the wrong throwout bearing collar, and it will likely never work properly, that arm will not work if it is jammed into the case.
