Slave Cylinder Replacement

NOTE:
  • Use fender covers to avoid damaging painted surfaces.
  • Do not spill brake fluid on the vehicle; it may damage the paint; if brake fluid does contact the paint, wash it off immediately with water.
  • Make sure not to get any silicone grease on the terminal part of the connectors and switches, especially if you have silicone grease on your hands or gloves.
  1. Remove the banjo bolt (A) and washers (B), then disconnect the clutch hose (C) from the slave cylinder (D). Plug the end of the clutch hose with a shop towel to prevent brake fluid from coming out.
