WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Saturn Vue. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Clean the clutch fluid reservoir cap and area around the cap. Remove the clutch fluid reservoir cap and remove enough brake fluid to clear a passage to the clutch master cylinder.
- Release the clutch pedal push rod retainer. Remove the clutch master cylinder pushrod from the clutch pedal assembly. See Fig 1 .
- Place a shop towel under the clutch master cylinder in order to catch any fluid loss. Using a pick tool on the strut tower side, disconnect the clutch line from clutch master cylinder. Cap the reservoir and hydraulic lines in order to prevent fluid loss and contamination.
- Remove the clutch master cylinder mounting nuts and slide the clutch fluid reservoir up and out. See Fig 2 .
NOTE:
DO NOT damage the pushrod boot when sliding it through the front of the dash.
