ROFL. Not that I haven't done similar things myself...

Generally, the flat side goes to the side AWAY from the fluid you're trying to seal in. As in, the 'U' shape will be facing in towards the slave cylinder.

I'm assuming you're talking about the seal that sits in the slave, right next to the piston, and has the actuator shaft running through it? If it is, the factory manual shows it (well, it looks like it) flat side towards the clutch (away from the slave) -as I said above.

i did the same blasted thing when i took my evo slave out to diagnose a myriad of clutch line issues.

Which slave do you have?

Sorry for the late reply!! I have the standard slave with the piston and seal as you explained. Thats the way i had it so we are both right!!

i'm asking which manufacturer built your slave...? OEM duc? evo? oberon?

Alot have slightly different piston/seal set ups but on all the piston can only work right facing one way.

It is the OEM Ducati one im assuming because my mums monster has the same one and a few other ducatis ive seen have them. It just has 'hydraulic clutch' written on it
