[slob]

You shouldn’t have to strip anything, unless the evo has a peculiarity I’m unaware of. I’m sure Luddite will be along in a minute with sage advice.

edit: the evo has an anti-rotation pin on the pushrod, so you might need to rotate it to align it with the slot in the slave cylinder piston.
Other than that, check the condition of the two o-rings on the pushrod, if they show no signs of damage it’s probably worth giving them a wipe with some clean engine oil or a little light grease, you may feel a little resistance as you push the rod in past the o-rings but you shouldn’t need a great deal of force. If they’re at all torn, thry shpuld be replaced.
If you’ve inadvertantly pulled the clutch lever with the slave off, you will need to push the piston in to refit the slave cylinder.
