Removal
1. Disconnect the negative cable from the battery.
If your car stereo system is equipped with a security code, make sure you have the correct combination to activate the audio system before disconnecting the battery!
2. Remove components located in the engine compartment that block access to the clutch master cylinder assembly.
3. Place a suitable container under the vehicle and prepare a rag to collect any fluid that spills when disconnecting the hydraulic lines.
4. Release the nipple connector of the hydraulic line connected to the cylinder and drain the liquid from it into a prepared container.
The fluid drained from the system cannot be reused and must be disposed of in accordance with local environmental protection laws. Remember also that hydraulic fluid is an aggressive chemical compound and can damage paintwork if it gets on painted body surfaces!
5. Disconnect the split pin securing the cylinder pushrod to the clutch pedal. Remove the washer and disconnect the pushrod.
6. Loosen the sensor-switch mounting nuts and remove the cylinder assembly from the rear bulkhead of the engine compartment.
Note: A sealing gasket to be replaced is installed between the cylinder mounting flange and the bulkhead mating surface.
Installation
1. Installation is carried out in the reverse order. Do not forget to lubricate all contact and support units.
2. After completing the assembly, "bleed" the hydraulic circuit, completely removing air locks from it (see Section Bleeding air from the hydraulic circuit of the clutch release drive).
