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.
3a. Disconnect the clutch master cylinder reservoir (see accompanying illustration).
3b. Using self-locking pliers, pinch the supply hose connecting the tank to the master cylinder (see accompanying illustration).
Note. The hose should be pinched at a distance of about 5 cm from the cut stretched over the cylinder fitting.
4. Disconnect the hydraulic lines from the master cylinder (see accompanying illustration). Wrap rags around the fittings to minimize hydraulic fluid loss. Seal open ends of lines and fittings 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. In the passenger compartment under the instrument panel, give two nuts securing the master cylinder to the bulkhead of the engine compartment (see accompanying illustration). 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. If necessary, slightly correct the position of the cylinder in order to facilitate the fitting of the pressure line fitting. Tighten the supply hose clamp.
3. Tighten fasteners and hydraulic line fitting securely.
4. Connect the pusher to the clutch pedal and fix the split finger with a new pin.
5. Remove the pliers clamping the supply hose. Fill the reservoir with the required amount of DOT 3 brake fluid (see chapter Current service), then remove air plugs from the tract (see Removal of air from the hydraulic path of the clutch release drive).
