MT Accumulator Delete Mod (ADM) and BS Thread

The part that you linked to doesn't have a 90 degree bend at the end like in your photo, nor the banjo fitting. Did you use a different part?

 

I linked to the right part.
Their photo just isn't the right one I guess.
It comes with everything you see/need.

 

Ok, thanks. I was worried because the pic was so different.

 

awesome thank you. Was bleeding straight forward?

 

Yeah you just need a 10mm flare wrench and a friend (enemy might work too if properly incentivised) or possibly one of these

Hey all,

I tried to do the delete with the flex line and banjo bolt and for the life of me cannot stop the banjo bolt from leaking. I tightened the banjo bolt to the point where I am scared of damaging the threads and I did place the washers on both sides of the banjo bolt as others here have done.

Any ideas?

 

Use a hard line and adapter. I went through 2-3 iterations of custom made flex lines and was not able to get one that I thought worked as well. The hard line is easy to bend and stays where you put it. Anchor it with a couple rubber lined "P" clips and you're g2g.

 

I think I can grab the parts in person tomorrow. I'll try it and report back. Thanks

 

did you order the Amazon one?

 

Is this all you used to do the delete mod? Does this take the place of the hard line the op made in this thread??

 

Yea the one linked to in this thread. It's a honda s2000 part but everything "should" fit. My guess is the washer isn't properly sealing, but regardless I'm just gonna do the hard line method.

 

damn I was sold on the flex line. Seems like others haven’t had an issue

 

Same here. Fyi it's also nearly impossible to tighten the fittings on the master cylinder side since you gotta use a 10m wrench to hold the hard line end and a 17 mm to tighten the fitting from the flex line. There's barely any space to tighten it correctly. I would only consider doing the flex line on the second gens since there's way more space.

 

Thanks for the info

 

Yes the "kit" comes with everything you need other than the hand tools obviously.
I had 0 problems with it sealing properly.
Brake fluid level is the same a week later.

 

I have never had issues with banjo bolts. Even reusing the crush washers many time. Sorry!

 

Thanks.....I did go back and read a little about it (like I should have prior to asking) I did see a couple people had problems with it.

 

The hard line did the trick! If anyone needs reassurance the hard line is very easy to bend without creating any kinks. Also I'm surprised how little it took to bleed the clutch, only a couple or so pumps was needed using the water bottle method. Drove the truck twice and its a completely different clutch feel, engagement is super sharp. Also first gear and reverse are finally acting how they should, no need to ride the clutch to get smooth changes.

Thanks again, this issue has been bugging me so much over the last two years since I got my third gen.

 

can you link the part numbers you used?
