• Q: How to service and repair the Clutch Slave Cylinder on 2005 Toyota Corolla?

  A: Service and repairs on the Clutch Slave Cylinder begin with draining fluid before disconnecting the clutch release cylinder from the flexible hose tube using Special Service Tool: 09023-00101 while collecting the fluid in a suitable container. The clutch release cylinder assembly requires unboltage of the 3 securing bolts followed by detachment of the flexible hose tube bracket in order to proceed. The service begins with boot, push rod, piston and spring removal from the cylinder body keeping the inner cylinder area free of damage. Cut off the bleeder plug cap before you detach the bleeder plug. You should tighten the release cylinder bleeder plug to 8.4 Nm (85 kgf-cm, 74 inch lbs.). To begin the clutch release cylinder kit installation, reinstall the bleeder plug cap before adding a new spring to the assembly along with applying lithium soap base glycol grease to the piston before inserting it into the cylinder body while remaining cautious about damage to internal components. Move ahead with cylinder body installation of the push rod combined with its boot. Secure the clutch release cylinder assembly along with the flexible hose tube bracket through two bolts that need to be tightened to 12 Nm (120 kgf-cm, 9 ft. lbs.) after which attach the flexible hose tube with a bolt at 5.0 Nm (51 kgf-cm, 44 inch lbs.). The clutch release cylinder should be attached to the flexible hose tube with Special Service Tool: 09023-00101 and torqued to 15 Nm (155 kgf-cm, 11 ft. lbs.). Finish the replacement by adding brake fluid to the reservoir then using Special Service Tool: 09023-00101 to bleed the clutch system with a torque of 8.4 Nm (85 kgf-cm, 74 inch lbs.). Inspect for fluid leakage as the last step.
