Removal
1. Disconnect the negative cable from the battery.
Warning! If the 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. Under the instrument panel, remove the pin and disconnect the split pin of the hydraulic master cylinder push rod from the clutch pedal.
3. Disconnect the clutch master cylinder reservoir. Use self-locking pliers to clamp the feed hose connecting the reservoir to the master cylinder.
Note: The hose should be pinched at a distance of about 5 cm from the cut of the end pulled onto the cylinder nipple. Disconnect the hose from the reservoir, unscrew the mounting bolt and remove the reservoir assembly from the engine compartment.
4. Loosen the clamp and disconnect the hydraulic line from the master cylinder. Wrap the nipple with a rag to minimize hydraulic fluid loss. Immediately plug the open ends of the line and nipple to prevent dirt from entering the system.
Caution! To avoid damage to the paintwork, do not allow hydraulic fluid to come into contact with painted surfaces of body panels.
5. Remove the power relay installed in the wheel arch with its bracket.
6. In the car's interior, under the instrument panel, loosen the two nuts securing the master cylinder to the engine compartment bulkhead. Remove the cylinder from the car.
Installation
1. Place the master cylinder in its regular place and secure it with bolts, hand tightening the nuts.
2. Restore the original connection of the hydraulic lines. Tighten the mounting clamps.
3. Tighten the hydraulic line fittings and nipple securely. Tighten the cylinder mounting nuts to the required torque.
4. Connect the cylinder push rod to the clutch pedal and secure the split pin with a new pin.
5. Install the power relay with bracket in its regular place.
6. Remove the pliers that clamp the feed hose. Fill the reservoir with the required amount of DOT 3 brake fluid, then remove any air pockets from the system (see Section Bleeding air from the hydraulic circuit of the clutch release drive).
