Withdrawal
1. Disconnect the negative cable from the battery.
Attention! If the stereo system installed in the car is equipped with a security code, before disconnecting the battery, make sure that you have the correct combination to activate the audio system!
2. Under the instrument panel, remove the pin and disconnect the split finger of the pusher of the main hydraulic cylinder from the clutch pedal.
3. Disconnect the clutch master cylinder reservoir. Using self-locking pliers, pinch the supply 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 stretched over the cylinder fitting. Disconnect the hose from the tank, unscrew the mounting bolt and remove the tank assembly from the engine compartment.
4. Release a fixing collar and disconnect a hydraulic line from the main cylinder. Wrap rags around the nozzle assembly to minimize hydraulic fluid loss. Cap the open ends of the line and fitting immediately to prevent dirt from entering the system.
Attention! To avoid damage to the paintwork, do not allow hydraulic fluid to come into contact with the painted surfaces of the body panels.
5. Remove the power relay installed in the wheel arch with its bracket.
6. In the car, under the instrument panel, give two nuts securing the master cylinder to the bulkhead of the engine compartment. Remove the cylinder from the car.
Installation
1. Get the main cylinder to its regular place and fix it with bolts, hand-tightening the nuts of the latter.
2. Restore original hydraulic line connections. Tighten the fastening clamps.
3. Tighten fasteners and hydraulic line fitting securely. Tighten the cylinder nuts to the required torque.
4. Connect the cylinder pusher to the clutch pedal and fix the split finger with a new pin.
5. Install the power relay with the bracket in its original place.
6. Remove the tongs clamping the supply hose. Pour the required amount of DOT 3 brake fluid into the reservoir, then remove air plugs from the path (see Section Removal of air from the hydraulic path of the clutch release drive).
