I have an 04 ranger with the 3.0 and 5 speed manuall tranny. the clutch master cylinder is having problems and i have had it in the shop where they agree its the master cylinder but the problem was not all the time so i have been driving it and its starting to have a problem more often so i need to get it replaced. the shop told me they could replace it for about 250-300$ with everything, parts/labor/bleeding the system. I found a master cylinder at the auto parts store for about 50 bucks. I went to school to work on diesel trucks so im pretty good with mechanical work but i have never changed a master cylinder on a ranger and was wondering if anyone has or if there is a lot of work or special tools required. just debating weather or not i want to attempt it or let the shop do it.

up in the TECH section there is a whole series of how-to's on R&R the clutch system, or a search on clutch master cyls will give you about a hundred differeent ways to bleed.
