A residual check valve prevents that reverse flow. The problem usually arises when the m/c is sited below the slave cylinders’ height above ground.

I’ve already done as Mike advises and drifted the shaft free of the fan-end bearing (see photo above).

I’m trying to dismantle an Allard fan bearing housing but can’t see how to remove the bearings.

Any pointers gratefully received.

Neil.
