• Q: How to service and repair the Clutch Master Cylinder on 2001 Toyota Camry?

  A: Service and repair of the Clutch Master Cylinder begins with using a syringe to draw fluid before disconnecting the clutch line with Special Service Tool: 09023-00100 and collecting the fluid in a container. This connection should be torqued to 15 Nm which is equivalent to 155 kgf-cm or 11 ft. lbs. The master cylinder extraction process begins by unfastening the clip and clevis pin then dismantling the two mounting nuts before you can pull out the master cylinder which should maintain a torque of 12 Nm (120 kgf-cm, 9 ft. lbs.). Running a pin punch and hitting the slotted spring pin allows reservoir tank disassembly before removing the tank and grommet. Begin removing the push rod after pulling back the boot by using snap ring pliers to detach the snap ring and then removing the piston. Lithium soap base glycol grease coating all parts is necessary before inserting the piston into the cylinder and setting the push rod assembly with the snap ring in place. Screw in the slotted spring pin to attach a new reservoir tank that uses a new grommet to the system. A proper installation requires performing the steps in the reverse order of removal because afterward you should bleed the system before adjusting the clutch pedal.
