Clutch Master Cylinder Installation

Installation of clutch system is reverse to its removal, but 

since the whole clutch system uses hydraulic assistance, 

make sure to air bleed it after the installation is completed.

Detailed steps as follows: 

(a)  Plug one end of the long transparent connection hose 

(about 0.5 m long) into the bottom of bleed screw, and 

the other end into a fixed container.

(b)  Loosen the bleed screw via the open end of the M8, 

meanwhile ask the assistant to step on the clutch pedal 

repeatedly until no air bubbles can be seen in the hose. 

Remark:  Residual  air  in  the  clutch  system  has  been 

completely exhausted.

(c)  Lastly, lock the bleed screw.

Caution: Refilling the brake fluid reservoir should be 

performed while air bleeding the clutch.

Clutch Pedal Removal

1.  Remove the battery's negative cable.

2.  Remove the glove box at the left of the dashboard.

3.  Remove  the  cotter  pin  at  the  U-joint  of  the  clutch 

master cylinder, and separate the center pin and the 

pedal lever.

4.  Remove the clutch pedal bracket from the cowl.

5.  Remove the clutch pedal.

(a)  Move the clutch pedal to the maximum stroke position.

(b)  Take down the return spring.

(c)  Remove the bolts and nuts.

(d)  Take the pedal lever down from the pedal bracket.

Clutch Pedal Installation

1.  Install the clutch pedal.

(a)  Install the return spring.

(b)  Install the clutch pedal lever.

(c)  Install the bolts and nuts.

Tightening torque: 30 N·m

(d)  Put the pedal lever at the maximum stroke position and 

connect it with the spring, in order to set the pedal to its 

initial position.

2.  Install the clutch pedal onto the 2 studs of the clutch 

master cylinder.

Use a M13 wrench to tighten the clutch pedal brackets with 

two M8 nuts. 

Tightening torque: 23±3 N·m

3.  Install the clutch master cylinder push rod with the U-

joint.

(a)  Coat the contact areas between the center pin and the 

U-joint pedal connector with multi-functional grease.

(b)  In succession, join the U-joint (pedal connector) and 

the clutch pedal lever with a cotter pin.

Caution: Insert the center pin into the pedal lever from

nut.

Tightening torque: 20 N·m

3.  Check if the pedal free play is correct.

Step on the pedal until one can feel the resistance.

Pedal free play: 13.7 mm          

4.  Adjust the free play.
