Clutch Slave Cylinder: Service and Repair

REMOVAL
1. Disconnect the clutch hose from the slave cylinder. Plug the end of the clutch hose with a shop towel to prevent brake fluid from coming out.

CAUTION: Avoid spilling brake fluid on the painted surfaces, as it may damage the finish.





2. Remove the slave cylinder from the clutch housing.

INSTALLATION

Super High Temp Urea Grease (P/N 08798-9002).
Brake Assembly Lube or equivalent rubber grease.





1. Install the slave cylinder on the clutch housing.
2. Bleed the clutch hydraulic system:
- Attach a hose to the bleed screw, then suspend the hose in a container of brake fluid.
- Make sure there is an adequate supply of fluid at the master cylinder, then slowly pump the clutch pedal until no more bubbles appear at the hose.
- Refill the master cylinder fluid when done.
- Always use Genuine Honda DOT 3 Brake Fluid. Using a non-Honda brake fluid can cause corrosion and decrease the life of the system.
