Mopar 52000068 Cylinder Master Clutch Hydraulic

Removal steps 1. Park on a level surface, set the parking brake, chock wheels, wear safety glasses and gloves. 2. Disconnect the negative battery terminal to disable electrical circuits before working. 3. Clean around the clutch master cylinder reservoir, then remove the cap and, if needed, remove some fluid to minimize spills. 4. Protect painted surfaces and lay down a drip tray; have absorbent rags ready for brake fluid (it can damage paint). 5. Using appropriate tools, disconnect the hydraulic line(s) from the master cylinder and immediately cap or plug the line(s) to limit fluid loss and contamination. 6. Disconnect the pushrod or pedal linkage from the master cylinder input shaft - attachment method commonly varies by design, so follow the actual linkage hardware present. 7. Remove the master cylinder mounting fasteners and withdraw the unit from the firewall area; support the unit to avoid fluid spillage. 8. Plug or cap the open ports on the removed unit and clean the surrounding area of any fluid; properly contain and dispose of old hydraulic fluid. Installation steps 1. Compare the new master cylinder to the old one to confirm fit and transfer any necessary components (reservoir lid, fittings) as required. 2. Bench-bleed the new master cylinder before installation according to the part maker's instructions; commonly this means cycling fluid through the ports until air-free. 3. Position the master cylinder at the firewall and secure the mounting fasteners snugly; do not invent torque values-use factory specs if available. 4. Reconnect the pushrod or pedal linkage and verify free, correct engagement and pedal travel (attachment details may vary by design). 5. Reattach the hydraulic line(s) using new crush washers/seals if applicable and tighten with appropriate flare or line tools to avoid rounding fittings. 6. Refill the reservoir with the manufacturer-specified hydraulic fluid and keep the cap loosely in place while bleeding. 7. Bleed the clutch hydraulic system by an appropriate method (manual two-person, pressure or vacuum bleeder) until the pedal feels firm and no air is present; procedures vary, so follow the chosen method's steps. 8. Inspect all connections for leaks, clean any spilled fluid, then reinstall and tighten the reservoir cap. 9. Reconnect the negative battery terminal. 10. Verify operation with a low-speed functional test, checking pedal feel, engagement, and for leaks; recheck fluid level and top up as needed. Repair tip: Replace any corroded line fittings, sealing washers, or the flexible hose when accessible, and always bench-bleed a new master cylinder to reduce the amount of air in the system.
