CLUTCH MASTER CYLINDER REBUILDING (DETAILED)

A Special thanks to Rob Lockyer for the contribution of this material. It is guys like Rob that enable DYI guys to do these jobs. Thanks Rob!

The Clutch Master is located at the back of the clutch pedal under the dash. Access by laying on your back in the drivers floor. Remove the two 13 mm bolts (when replacing only).

Remove Circlip and pin, In some cases you may have to drill the hole in both items and put a bolt through it to remove the freeplay.

Remove the clutch master circlip. You will need snap ring pliers or similiar and after you remove the clip you may have to push the piston in and out to get it to come out.

This is what the master piston and seals look like (top new seals on top and old one on bottom). Clean master housing and piston, rebuild and refit to complete job.
