I am in the process of re-building the slave cylinder and control valve. Are there any secrets to doing this? Can I buy the inner rod, there is a worn spot on it, that I am sure is the reason it is leaking. THANKS Mark

The slave cylinders are sold as rebuilds with a core charge - that may be the easier route - don't know about the rod itself. Larry at CS? Lamp

Tanks Paul. I ordered one last nite. Now I can/will tackel the control valve. Pretty sure I can get a kit for that. Gotta keep on the straight and narrow ya know.

Check this site out for rebuild help and questions http://jimshea.corvettefaq.com/?cat=5 and if things look too worn out consider the rack and pinion replacement Steerroids it replaces the steering box, control valve and slave valve.

THANKS, I'll look into it. Most everything is done now just need to button it up.
