1. INSTALL CLUTCH RELEASE CYLINDER ASSEMBLY


    C177217

  1. Install the clutch release cylinder with the 2 bolts.

    Torque:
    12 N*m{ 120 kgf*cm , 9 ft.*lbf }


2. CONNECT CLUTCH ACCUMULATOR ASSEMBLY


    C178012

  1. Connect the accumulator assembly and clutch tube bracket with the bolt and 2 nuts.

    Torque:
    Nut:
    12 N*m{ 120 kgf*cm , 9 ft.*lbf }
    Bolt:
    8.0 N*m{ 80 kgf*cm , 69 in.*lbf }


3. CONNECT CLUTCH LINE


    C177218

  1. Using a union nut wrench (10 mm), connect the clutch line.

    Torque:
    without a union nut wrench:
    15 N*m{ 155 kgf*cm , 11 ft.*lbf }
    with a union nut wrench:
    14 N*m{ 143 kgf*cm , 10 ft.*lbf }

    NOTICE:
    1. Use a torque wrench with a fulcrum length of 250 mm (9.84 in.).
    2. This torque value is effective when the union nut wrench is parallel to the torque wrench.


4. INSTALL CLUTCH ACCUMULATOR BRACKET


    C178466E01

  1. Install the clutch accumulator bracket with the 2 bolts.

    Torque:
    Bolt A:
    12 N*m{ 120 kgf*cm , 9 ft.*lbf }
    Bolt B:
    37 N*m{ 377 kgf*cm , 27 ft.*lbf }


5. INSTALL RELEASE CYLINDER HEAT INSULATOR


    C177209

  1. Install the release cylinder heat insulator with the 2 bolts.

    Torque:
    12 N*m{ 120 kgf*cm , 9 ft.*lbf }


6. FILL BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR

  1. Fill the reservoir with brake fluid.

    Brake Fluid:
    SAE J1703 or FMVSS No. 116 DOT 3

    NOTICE:
    Add brake fluid to keep the level between the MIN and MAX lines of the reservoir while bleeding the brakes.


7. BLEED CLUTCH LINE

  1. Remove the bleeder plug cap.

  1. Connect a vinyl tube to the bleeder plug.

  1. Depress the clutch pedal several times, and then loosen the bleeder plug while the pedal is depressed.

  1. When fluid no longer comes out, tighten the bleeder plug, and then release the clutch pedal.

  1. Repeat the previous 2 steps until all the air in the fluid is completely bled.

  1. Tighten the bleeder plug.

    Torque:
    8.4 N*m{ 86 kgf*cm , 74 in.*lbf }

  1. Install the bleeder plug cap.

  1. Check that all the air has been bled from the clutch line.



8. INSPECT FLUID LEVEL


    C173920E01

  1. Check the fluid level.
    If brake fluid level is lower than the MIN line, check for leaks and inspect the disc brake pads. If necessary, refill the reservoir with brake fluid to the MAX line after repair or replacement.

    Brake Fluid:
    SAE J1703 or FMVSS No. 116 DOT 3


9. INSPECT FOR FLUID LEAK

HINT:
Check for leaks from the clutch system.
