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.
- Write down the frequencies for the radio's preset buttons. Disconnect the negative (-) cable first, then the positive (+) cable from the battery. Remove the battery.
- Remove the mounting bolts (A) and the slave cylinder (B).
- Remove the roll pins (C). Disconnect the clutch line (D), and remove the O- ring (E). Plug the end of the clutch line with a shop towel to prevent brake fluid from coming out.
- Install the slave cylinder in the reverse order of removal. Install a new O- ring (A).
- Pull the boot (B) back, and apply brake assembly lube to the boot and slave cylinder rod (C). Reinstall the boot.
- Apply Super High Temp Urea Grease (P/N 08798-9002) to the push rod of the slave cylinder. Tighten the slave cylinder mounting bolts to 22 N. m (2.2 kgf.m, 16 lbf.ft).
- Bleed the clutch hydraulic system.
- Attach a hose to the bleeder screw (A), and suspend the hose in a container of brake fluid.
- Make sure there is an adequate supply of fluid in the clutch master cylinder, then slowly pump the clutch pedal until no more bubbles appear at the bleeder hose.
- It may be necessary to limit the movement of the release fork (B) with a block of wood to remove all the air from the system.
- Tighten the bleed screw to 8 N.m (0.8 kgf.m, 6 lbf.ft); do not overtighten it.
- Refill the clutch master cylinder with fluid when done.
- Always use only Honda DOT 3 or 4 brake fluid.
- Confirm clutch operation and check for leaking fluid.
