• Q: How to service and repair the Clutch Master Cylinder on 2005 Toyota RAV4?

  A: Service or repair of the Clutch Master Cylinder begins by removing the wiper assembly then using pliers to disconnect the reservoir hose from its clip before you can remove the hose from the inlet union while collecting the fluid in a container. The next step involves disconnecting the clutch line using Special Service Tool: 09023-00101 while placing the drained fluid into a container. Use needle-nose pliers to remove the clip and pin before you pull out the master cylinder by unfastening its 2 nuts while detaching the gasket along with the pedal stay bracket and master cylinder bracket. The disassembly process starts with the inlet union inherited by first hammering the slotted spring pin with a pin punch followed by grommet removal from the inlet union. Start by loosening the lock nut until you can remove the clevis and its lock nut before boot detachment. After that, use snap ring pliers to take out the snap ring by pushing the push rod. Finally, extract the push rod along with its washer. Return the piston containing spring from inside the cylinder. In reassembly the parts require lithium soap base glycol grease before installing the piston with spring into the cylinder followed by insertion of the push rod with washer that gets pushed into the piston and secured by the snap ring. First secure the boot onto the cylinder and add the clevis together with the lock nut. Then insert the new grommet and inlet union into the cylinder body before spring pin insertion into the slotted hole. Implementation of the installation process includes first fixing the gasket and pedal stay bracket and master cylinder bracket to the master cylinder followed by torque wrench application to the two nuts to 12 Nm (120 kgf-cm, 9 ft. lbs.) while connecting the push rod to the clutch pedal through the pin and pin clip. Employ Special Service Tool: 09023-00101 to join the clutch line while applying torque of 15 Nm or 14 Nm when using a torque wrench with a 30 cm (11.81 inch) fulcrum length. Secure the reservoir hose to the inlet union by facing the mark upward through its clip attachment process with pliers. Finish by putting on the wiper assembly then add brake fluid into the reservoir before bleeding the clutch system before adjusting the pedal and inspecting for leaking components.
