CAUTION: Do not allow the brake master cylinder reservoir to run dry during the bleeding operation. Keep the brake master cylinder reservoir filled
with clean specified brake fluid. Never reuse the brake fluid that has been drained from the hydraulic system.
NOTE: When any part of the hydraulic system has been disconnected for repair or new installation, air may get into the system and cause spongy
brake pedal action. This requires bleeding of the hydraulic system after it has been correctly connected. The hydraulic system can be bled manually or
with pressure bleeding equipment.
1. Using a suitable suction tool, remove the brake fluid to just below the clutch reservoir hose.
2. Disconnect the clutch slave cylinder-to-clutch master cylinder line.
3. Remove the 2 clutch slave cylinder bolts and the clutch slave cylinder.

To install, tighten to 19 Nm (14 ft. lbs.).

Apply a small amount of grease on the end of the slave cylinder push rod.

Bleed the air from the system.
