Removal and installation of the working and master cylinders of the clutch drive (VAZ-21051)

1. First of all, drain the working fluid. To do this, put one end of the hose on the air release nipple 9 (see Fig. Slave cylinder and clutch release fork) of the working cylinder, and lower the other into a clean container, unscrew the nipple 9 by 1/2–3/4 turn and press the pedal until the fluid is removed from the hydraulic system.

2. Then disconnect the tube connecting the master and slave cylinders, disconnect the release spring 7 (see Fig. Slave cylinder and clutch release fork), remove the cotter pin from the end of the pushrod and remove the slave cylinder by unscrewing the two mounting bolts.

3. To remove the master cylinder, unscrew the two nuts that secure it to the studs on the pedal bracket and disconnect the flexible hose from the reservoir.

4. To install the master and slave cylinders, perform the above operations in reverse order.

5. After filling with working fluid, bleed the hydraulic drive.
