Clutch Master Cylinder: Service and Repair

Clutch Master Cylinder Replacement

NOTE:
^ Use fender covers to avoid damaging painted surfaces.
^ Do not spill brake fluid on the vehicle; it may damage the paint; if brake fluid does contact the paint, wash it off immediately with water.





1. The brake fluid may be sucked out through the top of the master cylinder reservoir (A) with a syringe.
2. Disconnect the clutch line (B) from the clutch master cylinder. Plug the end of the clutch line and reservoir hose with a shop towel to prevent brake fluid from coming out.





3. Pry out the lock pin (A), and pull the pedal pin (B) out of the yoke. Remove the master cylinder mounting nuts (C).





4. Remove the clutch master cylinder (A).
5. Install the clutch master cylinder in the reverse order of removal. Tighten the master cylinder mounting nuts to 13 Nm (1.3 kgf-m, 9.4 ft. lbs.).
6. Bleed the clutch hydraulic system.

NOTE: Reservoir filling is covered in the bleeding procedure.

7. Refill the brake fluid in the reservoir at the MAX (upper) level line.
