REMOVAL
I - REMOVAL PREPARATION OPERATION
aMark the switch wiring routing on the pedals.
aUnclip the switch wiring from the pedal assembly.
aRemove the brake pedal switch (see 37A, Mechan-
ical component controls, Brake pedal switch:
Removal - Refitting, page 37A-42) .
aRemove the clutch pedal switch (see 37A, Mechan-
ical component controls, Clutch pedal switch:
Removal - Refitting, page 37A-52) .
II - REMOVAL OPERATION FOR THE ALUMINIUM
PEDAL PADS
aHeat the pedal pad with a heat stripper to a maxi-
mum temperature of 80˚C.
aRemove the pad using a pair of pliers.
aClean the residue of adhesive on the pedal (see
Tools for stripping very thick soft mastic: Use) .III - OPERATION FOR REMOVAL OF PART
CONCERNED
aRemove the connecting shaft (1) between the brake
pedal and the brake servo pushrod:
-unlock the shaft in accordance with (2) ,
-extract the shaft in accordance with (3) .
aUnclip the clutch master cylinder (4) . Equipment required

III - REFITTING OPERATION FOR THE ALUMINIUM
PEDAL PADS
aCheck that the pedal is at ambient temperature.
aCheck that the surface of the pedal is clean.
aActivate the pedal bonding surface with some paper
soaked in HEPTANE.
Wipe immediately with a clean and dry cloth.
Remove the protection around the pad.aBond the pedal pad (8) to the pedal (9) by pressing
on the right-hand side.
Press the pad to ensure bonding.
IV - FINAL OPERATION
aRefit the clutch pedal switch (see 37A, Mechanical
component controls, Clutch pedal switch: Re-
moval - Refitting, page 37A-52) .
aRefit the brake pedal switch (see 37A, Mechanical
component controls, Brake pedal switch: Re-
moval - Refitting, page 37A-42)
aRefit the switch wiring on the pedals in the position
marked during the removal operation. EQ UIPMENT LEVEL SPORT
Note:
If only the pad is being replaced, allow the pedal
to cool.
Note:
The bonding area must be clean, and free from
finger marks and fabric deposits.
Note:
It is essential to activate the surface and to wipe
in the same direction: there is a risk of contami-
nating the bonding surface when wiping.
Note:
Do not use the same paper to activate the sur-
face and to wipe the surface.
Throw the paper away after each use.

Bleed screw with two clips.
aTo open the bleed screw, lower the clip (6) and lift
the clip (7) while pulling by one notch.
III - BLEED PROCEDURE IF NO PARTS OF THE
HYDRAULIC CIRCUIT ARE REMOVED
1 - Bleed using the ARC50.
aKeep the clutch pedal in the upper position using a
strap attached to the steering wheel to ensure conti-
nuity of the hydraulic circuit during the bleed opera-
tion.aConnect the brake circuit bleeding device (after
having received Renault approval) to the master cyl-
inder reservoir (see the instructions for the equip-
ment).
aRemove the bleed plug from the clutch slave cylin-
der.
aConnect a transparent pipe to the bleed hole running
to an empty container placed under the bleed hole.
aOpen the bleed screw.
aOpen the circuit between the bleeding device and
the brake fluid reservoir.
aLet the brake fluid run until all air bubbles have been
released.
aStop the bleeding device to dump the pressure in the
clutch circuit.
aClose the bleed screw.
aRemove the transparent pipe from the bleed hole.
aRefit the bleed plug.
aTop up the brake fluid level in the master cylinder
reservoir after disconnecting the bleed device.
aDisengage and engage the clutch quickly around
twenty times.
aCheck that the clutch system is operating correctly.
aRepeat the bleed operation if necessary.
aCheck the adjustment of the switch. (see 37A, Me-
chanical component controls, Clutch pedal
switch: Removal - Refitting, page 37A-52) (37A,
mechanical control elements).

2 - Bleed using a new syringe.
aKeep the clutch pedal in the upper position using a
strap attached to the steering wheel to ensure conti-
nuity of the hydraulic circuit during the bleed opera-
tion.
aRemove the bleed plug from the clutch slave cylin-
der.
aConnect a transparent pipe of sufficient length to the
bleed hole (at least thirty centimetres) in order to
place it at the same height as the reservoir.
aOpen the bleed screw.
aFill the brake fluid master cylinder reservoir until
brake fluid flows out of the bleed screw.
aConnect a new hydraulic circuit bleed syringe
filled with a useful volume of 60 ml of approved
brake fluid to the end of the transparent pipe.
aSlowly inject the entire contents of the syringe into
the hydraulic clutch circuit without injecting any of
the air from the top section of the syringe.
aClose the bleed screw.
aRemove the transparent pipe from the bleed hole.
aRefit the bleed plug.
aTop up the brake fluid level in the master cylinder
reservoir.
aDisengage and engage the clutch quickly around
twenty times.
aCheck that the clutch system is operating correctly.
aRepeat the bleed operation if necessary.
aCheck the adjustment of the switch. (see 37A, Me-
chanical component controls, Clutch pedal

Note:
Take care not to disrupt the adjustment of the
clutch start of travel switch.
Note:
The transparent pipe must remain at the same
height as the master cylinder reservoir to prevent
air from entering inside the clutch circuit.
WARNING
The master cylinder pipe must be disconnected
from its take-off point on the br ake fluid reservoir,
to avoid any foreign matter penetrating inside the
hydraulic brake circuit.
WARNING
Prepare for the fl ow of fluid and protect the sur-
rounding components.
Note:
Prefill the hydraulic circuit pipe equipped with a
filter.
Position the filter head facing downwards to
ensure that it fills.
