Replaced bushing, new problem replaces old

I replaced the old bushing, which you can see was a complete mess.


The new one looks real nice.


But before I could even enjoy the fresh steering, I found a few new problems.

I got in the car and started it up and the clutch was always disengaged so I couldn't get any power to the wheels. I took out the slave cylinder and it was stuck open. So I took it apart, cleaned everything, and confirmed the seals were OK. I then replaced the part that makes contact with the pivot arm so that the cylinder inside would sit closer to the back wall keeping this from happening again. I then tried to bleed the system, but, since I was by myself, this proved difficult.

I ended up worrying that the master cylinder was bad. So I decided to take out the master cylinder and give that a rebuild also. While doing that I noticed that the spring on the clutch pedal was broken.


So I welded an arm on to the side and put that back in place and it's working well. After I rebuilt the master cylinder I put everything back together, but I'm still having difficulty bleeding it. I'll have to wait for help.
