Things You'll Need:
- Set of ¼-inch drive sockets ¼-inch drive ratchet Wire cutters Set of wrenches Floor jack Jack stands Drip pan One can of brake fluid
-
Step 1
Raise and support the vehicle on jack stands. Place the drip pan under the slave cylinder. Remove the hydraulic line by unscrewing the line plug with a wrench. It's usually a 10mm plug. Allow the fluid to drain into the pan. Do not bend the line more than required to extract the plug.
-
Step 2
Remove the slave cylinder by removing the two 13mm bolts with a wrench or socket.
-
Step 3
Bolt up the new slave cylinder with the nylon strap on the rod by pushing the clutch release arm forward, inserting the slave and screwing in the two 13mm bolts.
-
Step 4
Thread the hydraulic line into the slave cylinder and tighten with a 10mm wrench. Fill the slave cylinder's master cylinder with brake fluid.
-
Step 5
Open the bleeder valve on the side of the slave cylinder with a wrench. Turn it just two turns to allow fluid and air to escape. Allow it to drain into the pan for a few seconds while watching for air bubbles. When fluid is dripping out steady (no air bubbles can be seen), close the bleeder valve to where it is just snug.
-
Step 6
Fill the slave master cylinder again with fluid. Bleed the slave cylinder using a helper to depress the clutch pedal. Open the bleeder valve with a wrench and have the helper push the clutch pedal to the floor and hold it there. Close the bleeder valve and tell the helper to let the pedal up and to pump it a few times, then leave it up. Open the bleeder valve again and tell the helper to again push the pedal to the floor and hold it. Close the bleeder valve and fill the slave cylinder master cylinder to the proper level.
