I managed to get my hand around the cap by pushing the insulation behind, a couple of gentle turns and the cap came undone.

I know, I searched for months before I got mine, funnily enough I almost went to buy one in Birmingham, but th deal never went ahead, and this one turned up on my doorstep a few weeks later. Best things come to those who wait.

Clutch system designed after a particurlary heavy friday afternoon session at the pub - good luck! Be careful not to knacker the reservoir grommet below and cause a leak if applying a twisting pressure!

Order a replacement now, good luck with changing it - succcess brings a certain sense of achievement, but don't be too smug, the slave cylinder is equally as poor a design...
