First drain oil at slave cylinder, then remove pipe from master cylinder . disconnect clutch pedal push rod from cylinder , remove bolts holding cylinder to fire wall remove cylinder. wash off any fluid with water as it will damage paint .
There is a special tool to push the white collar down to remove the line from the clutch slave cylinder. Most clutch kits come with this tool but it is easily available from most parts stores. If you have the tool, lubricate the sleeve and push the line into the slave cylinder to release the holding fingers, then push on the sleeve with the tool and pull straight out on the line to remove. Sometimes they can be a pain. another solution is remove the whole line up to the master cylinder with it, you just have to route it accordingly. I have done this with some that wont disconnect.
you need to check the fluid level in the hydraulic clutch master cylinder under the hood,it is probably low or the slave cylinder in the bell housing that pushes the throw out bearing in is leaking.
I would check for a restriction between the Clutch Master Cyl. & the Clutch Slave Cylinder. I don't know if it's cold where you are but I've experienced a few Clutch slave cylinders that seemed to freeze, leak out & then continue to leak until replaced. Undoubtedly due to moisture in the systems. You could have a helper assist you in bleeding the slave cylinder, if you notice resistance at first, there could be something in the line from when the previous Master cylinder went bad that just got lodged in the system & didn't show up until now.
If you have no pressure whatsoever, lodging isn't the issue, attempt to bleed the system & then look for leaks at the boot of the slave cylinder. This will also confirm that the Clutch Master Cylinder is functioning properly.
The trans will need to come out. While your at it, just replace the clutch assembly, rear main oil seal, resurface the flywheel, and the clutch master cyl. Its not really a job you should do, find a repair shop to handle it.
There are two types of clutch actuators. (Mechanical & Hydtraulic)
A. For mechanical type,- Check the clutch cable as
this could be cut from wear and tear. This is easy
to replace. You can find this connected to the
pedal and the clutch lever near the transmission.
B.For hydraulic operated - Check the level of the
hydraulic oil at the cylinder of the hydraulic
actuator under the hood. This actuator is
directly connected to the pushrod driven by the
pedal. If the actuator is leaking, you have buy
a repair kit (Hyraulic clutch repair kit for Ford
Ranger 1994 MOdel.) These items must be
repaired to activate your pedal.
There is a rubber plug on the bottom of the transmission bellhousing. Remove the plug and look in to see if the slave cylinder is leaking. If yes the transmission will need removed to replace it. While you are there, check the clutch disc and pressure plate and replace as needed.
