  A: Service and repair the Clutch Master Cylinder by first removing the brake booster then drawing fluid through a syringe before disconnecting the clutch line using Special Service Tool: 09023-00100 while capturing fluid into a container. Begin the Clutch Master Cylinder repair by first removing the lower finish panel along with the lower insert, No. 2 heater to register duct and its attached clip and pin. After that remove the two mounting nuts to pull out the master cylinder. Finish the procedure by taking off the gasket. The clevis and boot need unlocking by loosening the lock nut before you drive out the slotted spring pin with a pin punch and hammer for tank reservoir removal. Finish by removing the push rod and washer through snap ring pliers until removing the snap ring. Proceed to remove the piston. All parts must get lithium soap base glycol grease treatment before installing the piston inside the cylinder and adding a new gasket alongside washer to the push rod assembly where it's necessary to install both the snap ring and boot. Position the reservoir tank along with a new grommet and fix its position with the slotted spring pin. Place a new gasket on the master cylinder before installing it with two mounting nuts torque to 12 Nm (120 kgf-cm, 9 ft. lbs.) and install the pin and clip afterward the No. 2 heater to register duct, lower insert, and lower finish panel. Use Special Service Tool 09023-00100 to connect the clutch line while torquing it to 13 Nm with a 300 mm (11.81 inch) torque wrench having a fulcrum length of 133 kgf-cm (133 kgf-cm, 10 ft. lbs.). The clutch maintenance concludes with a fluent brake fluid addition to the reservoir then bleeds the system and restores the booster while readjusting the pedal height to check for fluid leakage.
