Mirage TS Clutch master cylinder seals

[MonkeyTS]

Hi, frustratingly it possibly looks like I may need to fit a new clutch master cylinder seals? As I have no clutch resistance, what so ever, after trying to flush out the old fluid. Can anyone tell me the Brembo model & part number for this seal kit? Also, if it's not the master cylinder, but the Slave one, by the gear change, again, what Brembo parts to order. Finally if it is the slave unit, is it easy to attempt? , as it looks like it's hidden behind or within the gear box housing? Thanks.

I sent mine to Ducatipaddy, what he charges to service it, it isn’t worth the hassle plus you need a special tool to take it apart. Apparently

Really no special tools needed to take them appart. Please look at the description I put together some years ago:

The slave cylinder just has an O-Ring. Make sure the new one is oil and brake-fluid resistant.

In the first instance, just give the master a good clean with some brake cleaner. Remove the reservoir and make sure the holes under it are not blocked. Also make sure you drain the system well... There is a little trick: put a zip-tie on the lever so it is engaged fully and leave it over night. The next day, you release the lever, pump a bit to see if you get resistance and then you pull the lever in just very gently until you see some bubbles coming up really not pulling the lever completely, just so the piston in the master moves only 1-2 mm or so (you will recognize that point by looking into the open reservoir and see when the bubbles actually appear). now at around that point, keep moving the lever in and out until the bubbles are not coming anymore. now pull the lever in several times and see if you can get any resistance. repeat until its not developing any bubbles anymore... ;-)

Thanks, really informative info, plus love the helpful visual pdf guide. However since I posted the request on seal type, things went from bad to worse! I've posted it on technical to see if anyone has a solution, but the seal replacement, whilst will be necessary, I've now got a whole world of other trouble to try and sort!. My bleed nipple has come adrift from the engine case . What to do now? . I consoled myself to a few beers last night & that partially helped, but reality has kicked back in today, that is my Mirage, was on the cusp of being ready for the road, is back to square one.
