CAUTION:
●Monitor fluid level in the reservoir tank to make sure it does
not empty.
●Do not spill clutch fluid onto painted surfaces. If it spills,
wipe up immediately and wash the affected area with water.
●Bleed the operating cylinder.
1. Fill the master cylinder reservoir tank with new clutch fluid.
2. Connect a transparent vinyl hose to the air bleeder valve.
3. Depress the clutch pedal slowly and fully a few times at an inter-
val of 2 to 3 seconds and hold it.
4. With clutch pedal depressed, open air bleeder.
5. Close air bleeder valve.
6. Release clutch pedal and wait for 5 seconds.
7. Repeat steps 3 to 6 until no bubbles can be observed in the
brake fluid.

●Refer to CL-5, "On-Vehicle Inspection and Adjustment" , CL-8, "Air Bleeding Procedure" .
Disassembly and AssemblyECS008BB
DISASSEMBLY
1. Using a pin punch, remove spring pin, nipple and seal from the
cylinder body.
2. Loosen push rod lock nut. Remove clevis and lock nut.
3. Remove seat.
4. Remove stopper ring and stopper. Remove push rod from cylin-
der body while holding it securely to reduce possibility of the pis-
ton popping out.
