Help with clutch pushrod and slave cylinder

So I had to work on my 2005 Husqvarna tc250 clutch... While the clutch components and clutch push rod were out, the clutch lever got pulled in. When I put everything back together, the clutch push rod doesn't go in all the way. It's about 5-7mm out. Does this mean that the clutch slave cylinder piston came out and now won't allow the pushrod back in? If so, what do I do? Do I have to take the slave cylinder off and push the piston back in? Or will the pushrod get pushed back in if I try to finish putting on the pressure plate and springs?

Thanks

You should be able to push the slave piston back in.

You mean taking the slave cylinder off and pushing it back in like that?

Take off the slave you probably broke it by pulling the lever.

Forgive my ignorance, but what breaks in the slave cylinder if the clutch lever got pulled? Doesn't that just push the piston out?

I did some more research and now understand what could have broken. I will remove my clutch slave to see if I broke the cylinder.

The snap ring in back gets hit by the piston and breaks off the bottom of the cylinder usually.

Thanks for the help guys. I checked my slave piston and fortunately is wasn't broken. I reassembled the clutch and pushrod and then put the slave cylinder back in place. Didn't get a chance to run it, but the clutch seems operational.

Think you got outta jail there Mate. Good luck.
