Removal
1. Disconnect the cable from the negative battery terminal.
Caution: If the car stereo installed in your vehicle has an anti-theft system, make sure you have the unlock code for it before disconnecting the battery.
2. Working under the faceplate, remove the cotter pin from the clutch master cylinder push rod, remove the pin and disconnect the push rod from the clutch pedal.
3. Loosen the master cylinder mounting nut (under the front panel).
4. In the engine compartment, remove the carbon filter (see chapter 6).
5. Clamp the hose connecting the brake fluid reservoir to the clutch master cylinder (the hydraulic clutch drive system is fed from the brake system reservoir). Pinch the hose so that no brake fluid can leak out after the hose is disconnected. Disconnect the hose from the clutch master cylinder.
6. Disconnect the pressure line from the master cylinder. Remove all traces of spilled brake fluid with a rag. Plug the lines and master cylinder openings to prevent fluid leakage and dirt from entering the system.
7. Loosen the nut and remove the master cylinder from the bulkhead.
Caution: Do not allow brake fluid to come into contact with the paintwork, as this will damage it.
Installation
8. Install the master cylinder on the bulkhead and tighten the mounting nut by hand.
9. Connect the pressure line to the master cylinder and tighten its mounting nut by hand.
10. Tighten the cylinder mounting nut to the specified torque, then securely tighten the pipeline mounting nut.
11. Install the carbon filter (see chapter 6).
12. Place the hose from the reserve fluid reservoir onto the master cylinder, tighten the clamp and remove the clamp from the hose.
13. Under the front panel, tighten the mounting nut and tighten it to the required torque. Connect the push rod to the pedal with a pin and secure the yoke with a new cotter pin.
14. Add fluid (DOT 3) to the brake system reservoir and bleed the clutch hydraulic system (see paragraph 5).
