Clutch Slave Cylinder: Service and Repair

Clutch Slave Cylinder













Removal and Installation

WARNING: Carefully read cautionary information on product label. For EMERGENCY MEDICAL INFORMATION seek medical advice. For additional information, consult the product Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) if available. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury.

WARNING: Do not use any fluid other than clean brake fluid meeting manufacturer's specification. Additionally, do not use brake fluid that has been previously drained. Following these instructions will help prevent system contamination, brake component damage and the risk of serious personal injury.

NOTICE: Do not spill brake fluid on painted or plastic surfaces or damage to the surface may occur. If brake fluid is spilled onto a painted or plastic surface, immediately wash the surface with water.

NOTE: When any part of the hydraulic system has been disconnected for repair or new installation, air may get into the system and cause spongy brake pedal action. This requires bleeding of the hydraulic system after it has been correctly connected. The hydraulic system can be bled manually or with pressure bleeding equipment.

1. Using a suitable suction tool, remove the brake fluid to just below the clutch reservoir hose.





2. Disconnect the clutch slave cylinder-to-clutch master cylinder tube.
- To install, tighten to 17 Nm (150 lb-in).





3. Remove the 2 clutch slave cylinder bolts and the clutch slave cylinder.
- To install, tighten to 19 Nm (168 lb-in).





4. WARNING: Do not allow the brake master cylinder to run dry during the bleeding operation. Master cylinder may be damaged if operated without fluid, resulting in degraded braking performance. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury.

To install, reverse the removal procedure.
- Apply a small amount of grease on the end of the slave cylinder push rod.

- Bleed the air from the system.
