Removing Clutch Master Cylinder
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
- When the brake fluid reservoir is partially drained → Preliminary Work
release and disconnect the return line (from the brake fluid reservoir) -1-
. Remove pressure line -3-
on the clutch master cylinder -2-
. Place a lint-free cloth underneath to catch any emerging residual fluid.
Seal clutch master cylinder -2- close to the pressure line connection using a suitable stopper (use stopper from new cylinder) or pump clutch master cylinder dry by actuating the clutch pedal.
- Secure clutch pedal so that it remains in normal position (at the engaged limit stop). To do this:
Secure clutch power spring using a cotter pin (approx. 3.2 x 20 mm) or place a suitable object under the clutch pedal so that (when the push rod is disconnected from the clutch master cylinder) it does not shoot forward (towards the disengaged limit stop) unintentionally/uncontrollably (danger of injury).
Another option (in addition to the securing methods mentioned above) is to guide the pedal towards the disengaged limit stop with your hand (pedal fully depressed) immediately after the clutch master cylinder is removed.
- Remove push rod at the clutch pedal -2- . Remove fastening screws -1- on clutch master cylinder. Remove the clutch master cylinder, together with the return line (remains fitted to the clutch master cylinder), by swivelling it down and pull it out.
