Removing Clutch Master Cylinder

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 9 other vehicles, including the 2013 Porsche 911, 2012 Porsche 911, 2011 Porsche 911, 2010 Porsche 911, and 2009 Porsche 911. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Remove pressure line -1- , from the clutch master cylinder -2- . Place a lint-free cloth underneath to catch any emerging residual fluid.
Seal clutch master cylinder -2- in the area of the pressure line connection using a suitable plug (use stopper from new cylinder) or pump clutch master cylinder dry by operating the clutch pedal.

Secure clutch pedal so that it remains in the 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 something appropriate under the clutch pedal so that (when the push rod is disconnected from the clutch master cylinder) it does not shoot back and forth (in the direction of the disengaged limit stop) unintentionally/uncontrollably - due to danger of injury.

Another option (in addition to the securing methods cited above) is to guide the pedal by hand towards the disengaged limit stop (pedal fully pressed down) immediately after the clutch master cylinder has been pulled out.
