INternal Clutch slave to EXTERNAL help

Hi...I've been lurking soaking up some tech info on swapping my '92 XJ 6-Cyl AX-15 from internal to external. I'm getting ready to button it all up, but don't know if everything is there and in the right place.
Here's a pic of the setup. (new bellhousing, clutch fork, with spring retainer, and throwout bearing. The T.O. Bearing has a spring clip on each side, that I assume holds the fork in place. Is this how it's supposed to mount? or do the slots go on the same side as the pivot ball???


Also, is there anything that holds the end of the slave cylinder shaft into the clutch fork? Next is the bearing and fork, does this look right?


I'm also having trouble getting the pilot bearing out to replace it. It seems like there's a large flat washer holding it in, and the FSM says to use an internal puller or sumthing. How do I get it out?


Also...shouldn't there be a return spring or something?
Thanks for yer help

go to any auto parts store that has a loan-a-tool program and borrow the internal puller. Just tell them what you are doing and they'll know what tool to give you. Don't know about the rest of the set up, sorry. A word to the wise - Use a set of pliers to hold up the end of the slide hammer not your palm. One busted knuckle 2 years ago that still aches when it rains/snows compels me to tell you this.

Thanks! anyone else familiar w/ the external clutch cylinder setup and if I have all the pieces parts in the right spot?

That look about right. Did you change the front bearing retainer to an exteral slave cylinder one?

Yep...new bearing retainer & new seal, plus all the other stuff ended up being $300-$400, but was a good time replacing it all including the rear main, and oil pan gasket. Now when the slave goes out it won't trash the clutch, and I won't have to pull the trans!!!!! thanks for all yer help on this site...

Also, the 'return spring' in this setup is on the pressure plate. They are refered to as 'fingers' and are flat springs.

One thing to keep in mind is cut those little white straps off of the slave cylinder push rod.Those are there to keep the piston in place during shipping.They had me confused at first so I left them on and the first time I hit the clutch peddle I heard one snap off,and had to crawl under to cut the other off.

Yea...in my case one snapped off and the other one stayed on and made the push rod sit crooked.....
