Clutch master and slave cylinder removal

[Guest Anonymous]

Anyone have good tips or advice to remove these suckers? Started the process this afternoon. Kind of some tight spaces in there.

to get the slave cylinder out. Removing the clutch inspection cover is helpful when extracting the slave cylinder as well. You'll have to lift the carpet to get ot the fasteners on the master cylinder. You'll find an adjustment for pedal height on the master cylinder. too. You'll have fun with the brake fluid supply line from the reservoir as well. I recommend installing the tube from the reservoir before reinstalling the master cylinder. These are the tough details. You'll get plenty dirty and have brake fluid all over the place in the process, so be prepared.

Good luck,

and disconnected the clutch pedal from the inside. Not so much brake fluid left as it had already drained out which necessitated the repair and replacement.

... you might have to "persuade" the slave cylinder with a heavy hammer. Remember that steel and aluminum don't mix, and heavy corrosion might have started.
