CLUTCH PEDAL HEIGHT
Adjust clutch pedal height by loosening clevis lock nut and turning
push rod as shown.
Clutch pedal height is normal if clutch pedal is about
20 mm (0.79 in.) higher than brake pedal.
After adjusting, tighten lock nut to specified torque.
Tightening Torque
(a): 10 N
.m (1.0 kg-m, 7.5 lb-ft)
CLUTCH PEDAL FREE TRAVEL
Depress clutch pedal, stop the moment clutch resistance is felt and
measure distance (clutch pedal free travel). Free travel should be
within following specification.
Pedal free travel ªaº: 15 ± 25 mm (0.6 ± 1.1 in.)
CLUTCH FLUID PIPE AND HOSE
REMOVAL
NOTE:
Do not allow fluid to get on painted surface.
1) Remove dust and dirt from each joint of hose and pipe to be dis-
connected and clean around reservoir cap.
2) Take out fluid with syringe or such.
3) Disconnect fluid pipe from hose.
NOTE:
To disconnect pipe from hose, separate them by using flare
nut wrench and spanner so as not to kink them.

INSPECTION
Check pipe and hose for dent, kink, crack, dirt and dust. Replace
if check result is not satisfactory.
INSTALLATION
Reverse removal sequence noting following points.
Tighten flare nuts to specified torque.
Tightening Torque
(a): 16 N
.m (1.6 kg-m, 11.5 lb-ft)
NOTE:
For air bleeding of master cylinder alone, it must be removed
from vehicle.
(For procedures of removal and installation of master cylin-
der assembly and air bleeding, refer to CLUTCH MASTER
CYLINDER section.)
Do not allow fluid to get on painted surface.
Do not allow pipe and hose to contact hard against vehicle
or other parts.
Install each clamp securely.
Install E-ring securely as shown.
After installation, check clutch pedal free travel and bleed air
from system.
Check fluid leakage.
Add fluid close to MAX level of reservoir.
CLUTCH MASTER CYLINDER
REMOVAL
1) Clean around reservoir cap and take out fluid with syringe or
such.
2) Remove push rod clevis pin.
3) Disconnect fluid pipe from master cylinder.
NOTE:
Do not allow fluid to get on painted surfaces.
4) Remove master cylinder attaching nut and bolt.
5) Remove master cylinder assembly and gasket.

INSTALLATION
1) To bleed air from master cylinder itself, tilt it as shown in figure
and add fluid into it.
NOTE:
After bleeding air from master cylinder, plug pipe hole in it
to prevent fluid from spilling out of it till pipe is connected.
2) Install master cylinder assembly and new gasket to body, attach-
ing bolt, nuts and push rod clevis pin.
NOTE:
Do not reuse gasket.
3) Torque attaching bolt and nut to specification.
4) Connect fluid pipe and torque flare nut to specification.

(a): 13 N
.m (1.3 kg-m, 9.5 lb-ft)
(b): 16 N
.m (1.6 kg-m, 11.5 lb-ft)
5) Apply grease to clevis pin and install it.
ªAº: Grease 99000-25010
6) Fill reservoir with specified brake fluid and check fluid leakage.
7) After installation, bleed air from system and check clutch pedal
free travel. Refer to BRAKE section for air bleeding procedure.
FLUID INSPECTION
Fluid level should be always between MIN and MAX lines on reser-
voir. If fluid decreases quickly, check for leakage, repair leaky point,
if any, and add fluid up to MAX level.
NOTE:
Brake fluid damages painted surface badly. Should it get on
painted surface, remove it immediately and clean surface
thoroughly.
Do not use shock absorber fluid or any other fluid which con-
tains mineral oil. Do not use container which has been used
for mineral oil or which is wet from water. Mineral oil will
cause swelling and distortion of rubber parts in hydraulic
clutch system and water will mix with brake fluid, lowering
fluid boiling point. Keep all fluid containers capped to pre-
vent contamination.
Make sure not to use fluid whose container cap was first
opened more than a year ago.

REMOVAL
NOTE:
Do not allow fluid to get on painted surfaces.
1) Clean around reservoir cap and take out fluid with syringe or
such.
2) Disconnect fluid hose from operating cylinder.
3) Remove operating cylinder attaching bolts and operating cylin-
der.

1) For air bleeding of master cylinder alone, it must be removed
from vehicle.
For procedures of removal and installation of master cylinder as-
sembly and air bleeding, refer to CLUTCH MASTER CYLINDER
section.
2) Apply small amount of grease to rod tip.
ªAº: Grease 99000-25010
NOTE:
