Information 

• Once the lead is separated from the clutch slave cylinder, the clutch pedal must not be pressed until reinstallation is complete. 
• During removal, do not bend the clutch slave cylinder more than 3° from the installation position. Greater deflections of the pushrod can damage the clutch slave cylinder and cause brake fluid to run into the bellows. 

1. Unclip the line -arrow-  on the clutch slave cylinder (remove retaining spring) and seal using a suitable plug. Pay attention to the seal on the line. This can remain stuck in the clutch slave cylinder. Carefully remove the seal and replace with a new one, if necessary.
