Clutch Slave Cylinder Replacement

  1. Remove the bleeder screw cap. 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 bleeder 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.
    • Use only Honda DOT 3 or 4 Brake Fluid from an unopened container.
    • Confirm clutch operation and check for leaking fluid.
