To remove the component, first disconnect the cable from the negative battery terminal. Then, raise the vehicle and support it securely on jackstands. For 2001 and 2002 models, disconnect the hydraulic line quick disconnect fitting located between the clutch slave cylinder and the master cylinder. For 2003 models, remove the clip securing the hydraulic hose to the clutch slave cylinder, drive out the roll pin with a punch, and disconnect the hose, being prepared for some fluid loss. It is important to avoid contact between brake fluid and paint to prevent damage. Next, for 2001 and 2002 models, remove the lateral bending brace along with the clutch slave cylinder mounting bolts, and then remove the bolts securing the clutch slave cylinder to the transaxle. For installation, reverse the removal process with the following additions: install the clutch slave cylinder and, if applicable, the lateral bending brace mounting bolts, tightening them securely, then connect the hydraulic line and check the hydraulic fluid level in the reservoir, adding fluid as necessary until the level is correct.
