Product Description
POWERmaster Clutch Master Cylinder STC500100PLOF - LOF
Please Note:- Must not be fitted in conjunction with LOF POWERMASTER clutch slave cylinder (part no. FTC5202PLOF).
For optimum performance, this unit is to be fitted in a vehicle with a partly worn-in clutch. This is due to the fact the biting point may be reduced as a result of fitment of the unit, more significantly so with a new clutch.
Heavy Defender/ Series 3 clutch pedal?
THE REVOLUTIONARY POWERmaster has been designed as an affordable, cost effective Master cylinder that reduces the weight of the pedal significantly.
This Master Cylinder can be fitted to All Defenders & Series 3 models fitted with a ‘Girling type’ Cylinder (part number STC500100) as standard.
The POWERmaster typically provides a clutch pedal that is 30% lighter than the OEM set up.
For best results fit in conjunction with with the LOF POWERspring (part number EDP7510UPGRADE).
*Cannot be fitted in conjunction with the LOF POWER Slave cylinder*
Fitting Instructions
25 minutes to fit
You will need:
- Brake Fluid
- 11, 13, 14mm open ended spanners
- 10mm socket, extension and ratchet
- bleeding kit not necessary but can help
- Phillips screw driver
Disconnect pipe from master cylinder.
Undo the retaining bolt for the bulkhead mounted header tank (TD5/ TDCI).
Undo the 6 screws on the top of the clutch pedal box.
Remove 2x 13mm nuts securing the master push rod to the pedal assembly
Unplug the clutch switch cable (TD5/ TDCI).
Now wedge the pedal down and undo the two mounting bolts holding it to the clutch pedal box.
Withdraw master cylinder from pedal box.
Refitting is the reversal, making sure to use the new 1/2 width Nyloc nut provided, set the pedal inline with the brake pedal and bleed the system, leave the cover plate off while test driving, taking 2x 13mm spanners to adjust as necessary! You can raise the biting point by raising the position of the pedal using the two lock nuts on the master push rod.
Tips for installing & Bleeding:
Use a pipe clamp / soft jaw grips on the flexi hose hose to retain the majority of Brake fluid.
Bleeding can be a little awkward, if you think there is air in the system, you can wedge the clutch pedal down over night to allow the air to rise to the top of the system.
On the Defender if you need to increase clearance; this can be done by adjusting the master cylinder pushrod to move the pedal assembly further away from the bulkhead increasing the stroke.
