or should I be able to push the master cylinder in by hand? not sure if iv bent/broke it and that's why I cannot push it in or whether its just the pressure in the cylinder?

It would be quite difficult to push in by hand mate. What's the issue?

Suppose it would be difficult without a picture.

Sure it's in properly? Would it be at the correct distance if you could get it in? IIRC it's like a kind of box shape which the rod slots into?

If the length is in the correct place but doesn't allow the pedal to get into the box then just take it out and line it up and bolt back up.

You don't really want pressure on the rod when pedal is in relaxed position as it's just asking for unnecessary component wear.

Sorted. Cause I had the plastic clip on I couldn't position the pedal to get the piston in. Soon as I took the clip off sorted. PITA  of a job though. If it snaps again I'll take a wv bill over ripped open / bruised hands.


Also. If you drip a clutch pedal, make sure the pointy end doesn't land on your eye...one of the most painful things

Got it sorted. Works and that. However when I dip the clutch I get a weird high pitched noise. Any ideas anyone
