How do you change a ford ranger key cylinder without a key?

How do you change the clutch and master cylinder on a 1995 Ford Ranger 4-cylinder?

• Answer:

  You have to drop the transmission. Be sure to unhook the battery cable first. Unhook all the line on the transmission. The is a quick release for the hydraulic clutch- to unhook it you have to push the white plastic in toward the transmission and it will pop out. Remove all the bolts on the transmission. You will have to undo the starter as well. You will need to buy a clutch kit. You should also have the flywheel resurfaced. The kit will contain an alignment tool that is shaped alot like the shaft of the transmission. The hydraulic system contains the slave cylinder which is located on the shaft of the transmission. I recommend changing it too. The Master cylinder is located above the clutch and under the hood you can see where the hose goes into the body of the truck to the clutch pedal. There are two bolts that hold it in. I haven't removed mine yet, but will tomorrow. Why are you replacing the master cylinder is it leaking or not holding pressure on our pedal? Then you will put it all together and need to bleed the slave cylinder and master cylinder. You need to follow the directions on the replacement parts. Hope this helps you.
