H CLUTCH FLUID CLUTCH FLUID PREPARATION 49 0259 7708 For air bleeding Whench, flare nut REPLACEMENT Caution Clutch fluid will damage painted surfaces. If clutch fluid does get on a painted surface, wipe it off immediately. 1. Drain the fluid from the reservoir by using a suction pump. (Refer to section P.) 2. Remove the bleeder cap from the clutch release cylinder and attach a vinyl hose to the bleeder screw. 3. Insert the other end of the vinyl hose into a clear contain- er. 4. Loosen the bleeder screw by using the SST. 5. With another person slowly pumping the clutch pedal, drain the fluid from the clutch system. 6. Repeat step 5 until all the fluid is drained. 7. Modify the bleeder screw tightening torque to allow for ,-, a torque wrench-SST combination (Refer to section GI "Torque Formulas".) 8. Tighten the bleeder screw by using the SST. Tightening torque: 5.9--8.8 N.m (60-90 kgf.cm, 53-78 in4bf) 9. Fill the reservoir to MAX with new fluid of the specified type. 10. Bleed the air from the clutch. (Refer to page H-9.) 11. Check for correct clutch operation. 12. Verifv that there is no fluid leakaae. Gartner Banana

H CLUTCH MASTER CYLINDER REMOVAL I INSTALLATION Caution Clutch fluid will damage painted surfaces. If clutch fluid does get on a painted surface, wipe -. - - - it off immediately. 1. Remove in the order shown in the figure, referring to Removal Note. 2. Install in the reverse order of removal, referring to Installation Note. 3.

CLUTCH MASTER CYLINDER H After-installation Procedure 1. Bleed the clutch system. (Below) I 2. Add fluid to the reservoir MAX mark. ' 3. Inspect and adjust the clutch pedal height and free play. (Refer to page H-5.) AIR BLEEDING The clutch hydraulic system must be bled to remove air introduced whenever a hydraulic line is disconnected. Caution Clutch fluid will damage painted surfaces. If clutch fluid does get on a painted surface, wipe it off immediately. 1. Remove the bleeder cap from the clutch release cylinder and attach a vinyl hose to the bleeder plug. 2. Insert the other end of the vinyl hose into a fluid-filled clear container. 3. Working with another person, have the person depress the clutch pedal several times, then hold it down. 4. With the clutch pedal depressed, loosen the bleeder screw by using the SST to let fluid and air escape. Close the bleeder screw. 5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until no air bubbles are seen in the fluid. Make sure the reservoir is always 314 full or more during this procedure. 6. Modify the bleeder screw tightening torque to allow for use of a torque wrench-SST combination. (Refer to sec- tion GI "Torque Formulas".) 7. Tighten the bleeder screw by using the SST. Tightening torque: 5.9-8.8 N.m (60-90 kgf.cm, 53-78 in4bf) 8. Fill the reservoir to MAX with new fluid of the specified type. 9. Check for correct clutch operation. 10. Verify that there is no fluid leakage. Gartner Banana

CLUTCH RELEASE CYLINDER H Installation Note Clutch pipe 1. Modify the clutch pipe tightening torque to allow for use of a torque wrench-SST combination. (Refer to section GI "Torque Formulas".) 2. Tighten the clutch pipe by using the SST. Tightening torque: 12.8-21.5 N-m (1 30-220 kgfam, 11%-190 in-lbf) Air Bleeding After installation, bleed the clutch system. (Refer to page H-9.) OVERHAUL 1. Disassemble in the order shown in the figure, referring to Disassembly Note. 2. lnspect all parts and repair or replace as necessary. Warning Using compressed air can cause dirt and other particles to fly out, causing injury to the eyes. Wear protective eye wear whenever using compressed air. 3. Wipe all parts, and clean all ports, passages, and inner parts with compressed air. 4. Assemble in the reverse order of disassembly. 1. Boot 5. Bleeder cap 2. Push rod 6. Bleeder screw 3.
