• Q: How to service and repair the Clutch Master Cylinder on 2000 Toyota Tacoma?

  A: The first step during Clutch Master Cylinder service requires drawing fluid through a syringe followed by disconnection of the clutch line using Special Service Tool: 09023-00100 while collecting fluid into a suitable container. Special Service Tool: 09023-00100 requires torque at 15 Nm for this connection which equals 155 kgf-cm or 11 ft. lbs. After removing the clip and clevis pin the mounting nuts should be taken loose so you can pull out the master cylinder that requires 13 Nm torque (130 kgf-cm, 9 ft. lbs.). Disassembly requires the removal of the reservoir tank through slotted spring pin pinching with a hollow punch while hammering then extracting the tank together with its grommet. Use snap ring pliers to take out the snap ring from the push rod before pulling back the boot then remove the piston. Lithium soap base glycol grease should be applied to all parts before fitting the piston into the cylinder followed by snapping on the push rod assembly with its snap ring in place and finally securing the reservoir tank along with its new grommet using the slotted spring pin. Bleeding and clutch pedal adjustment happens after the complete installation procedure which proceeds backward from removal steps.
