Warning! The brake fluid used in the hydraulic clutch system is poisonous, so if it comes into contact with the skin, immediately wash the area with plenty of water. If the liquid gets into the eyes or inside the body, you should immediately consult a doctor. Some fluids tend to be highly flammable and can ignite even from contact with hot vehicle components. In addition, the fluid used in the hydraulic clutch system dissolves paint and plastic, so if fluid comes into contact with the car's paintwork, wash it with plenty of water. Also, this liquid is hygroscopic, i.e. it absorbs moisture from the air and, therefore, it is not recommended to use liquid stored for a long time in an open container.
Clutch Slave Cylinder Parts
Removing
Removing the slave cylinder from the clutch housing
1. Raise the front of the car and secure it on stands.
2. On the right side of the vehicle, place a suitable container under the clutch slave cylinder. Unscrew the hydraulic coupling of the pipeline on the clutch slave cylinder and disconnect the hose. After draining the fluid from the hydraulic clutch system, plug the end of the hose and the hole in the clutch slave cylinder with plugs.
3. Unscrew the two mounting bolts and remove the slave cylinder from the clutch housing (see fig. Removing the slave cylinder from the clutch housing). Remove the gasket.
Repair
Removing the piston from the clutch slave cylinder
Removing the spring from the clutch slave cylinder
1. Clean the outer surface of the clutch slave cylinder. Remove the retaining ring and remove the pusher from the clutch slave cylinder.
2. Lightly tap the clutch slave cylinder body with a hammer and remove the piston and spring from it (see fig. Removing the piston from the clutch slave cylinder, Removing the spring from the clutch slave cylinder).
3. Thoroughly clean the parts of the clutch slave cylinder, check their condition and replace them if necessary. The piston seal ring must be replaced regardless of its condition.
4. Remove the old o-ring from the piston. Dip a new O-ring into the brake fluid and install it on the piston according to the arrows. Check that the lip of the sealing ring is in front of the spring at the end of the piston.
5. Lubricate the clutch slave cylinder bore with clean brake fluid and install the spring so that the larger coils of the spring are at the back of the clutch slave cylinder.
6. Being careful, install the piston in the bore of the clutch slave cylinder so that the protrusion of the piston enters the spring.
7. Install the pusher with a dust cap in the channel of the clutch slave cylinder and secure with a retaining ring.
Installation
1. Install the clutch slave cylinder gasket with the notched side facing the clutch housing.
2. Install the clutch slave cylinder with push rod into the clutch housing so that the push rod fits into the spherical recess in the clutch release lever.
3. Secure the clutch slave cylinder with bolts.
4. Connect the hose to the clutch slave cylinder, fill and bleed the clutch hydraulic system with fluid.
