My clutch actuator was replaced around 8k miles ago, and now it's leaking again. Should I go to the dealer, as I have extended warranty and replace it there (cost $50), or should I buy EBR kit (cost $100 + shipping) and replace it myself? The puck paint was also damaged by the brake fluid and is peeling.

If it was replaced under the extended warranty, it should not cost you to have it fixed AGAIN

No, it was replaced under factory warranty

The OEM stuff will fail again.

I like the EBR part.

I could do the job myself in under and hour. It's not a difficult job.

I asked the dealer if they would install the EBR if I bought and were doing the warranty work anyway. They were o.k. with it, but obviously that was the last time and no further warranty on the clutch. Only had a few months left anyway.

Go EBR. The factory crap is just that CRAP. Don't waist your time having the dealer put that crap back in. The $100 is worth every cent.

The dealer told me that they will install the part from EBR, because it's cheaper than OEM, charge the warranty for the OEM part, and give me a difference.

An excellent result and it would seem that you have an sensible Dealer but is it wise to put this on a public forum? Similar common sense things have been done like this in the UK and the MoFuCo take a very dim view of it. Just a thought

MoFuCo has nothing to do with it. It's covered by extended warranty

So it was installed yesterday. They also replaced clutch cover puck. As usual, I've got Softail Slim as a loaner. They installed EBR part, and not only I didn't pay deductible, but I've got $97 store credit, and used it to buy a spare belt. Incredible service from the dealer this time!
