Clutch Lever Push Pin Boot?

[03TBUSA]

Ok switched clutch lever but accidentally pulled the small ribbed pin out of boot under reservoir. Can't slide it back into the boot. Does anyone know a trick to doing this?

Yessir, I just done went thru the WHOLE mess myself. Get youself a little pair of needlenose pliers and GENTLY coax the rubber boot out of the socket. It pulls free with a little bit of effort. The rubber is VERY thin and rips easily so BEE CAREFUL..!! Once you have the boot out of the hole, get a little silicone grease and grease everything up, then slide it back onto the pin and into the holding grooves. At this point, clean the hole out with a rag so the boot will slide in easier. Then put the pin and boot back in the hole, push the boot in with the end of a smooth little paintbrush or somthing that won't pierce the rubber. Don't use a screwdriver..!!
Now you are ready to put the lever back on, be sure to put a little grease on rubbing surfaces.
Good luck on your project, I couldn't find any other "trick" to doing it.

Well. I f'd up. Tried tweezers and tipped the damn thing. He's a tiny tear that's really unnoticeable when all together. Looked at a new one and looks like Ima have to order a master cylinder pin kit for 29.99 just for that little rubber. Ima wait a little while before I order it. I'll just avoid spraying watrr near it. Thanks for the reply tho Blue

You can get the Master cylinder pin kit off Ebay for 13 bucks, that's where I got mine. If you can't find it, let me know and I'll send you the URL from the Ebay auction (Buy it Now) I won.
