• Q: How to service and repair the Clutch Slave Cylinder on 2006 Scion xB?

  A: The first step in servicing and repairing the clutch release cylinder demands the use of Special Service Tool: 09023-00101 to disconnect the flexible hose tube from the clutch release cylinder while collecting fluid in a container. The first step should include dismantling the clutch release cylinder assembly through bolt removal of its two corresponding fasteners. The disassembly process requires complete removal of the union bolt together with its union components and the 2 gaskets before extracted are the boot and push rod piston and spring from the cylinder body while avoiding damage to its internal area. First step for reassembly consists of removing the bleeder plug cap from the bleeder plug. Begin reassembly by torquing the bleeder plug to 8.4 Nm (85 kgf-cm, 74 inch lbs.). Then install the clutch release cylinder kit by applying the bleeder plug cap and new spring followed by lithium soap base glycol grease application to components and boot and piston and push rod insertion onto the cylinder body. The installation requires the clutch release union together with the union bolt and two new gaskets followed by torqueing it to 25 Nm (250 kgf-cm, 18 ft. lbs.) while maintaining the body angle at 0°±3°. The installation entails tightening 2 bolts in the clutch release cylinder assembly while applying 9 ft. lbs (120 kgf-cm, 12 Nm) torque and using Special Service Tool: 09023-00101 to connect the flexible hose tube to the release cylinder with a torque of 11 ft. lbs (155 kgf-cm, 15 Nm). Fill the brake fluid into the reservoir before performing a clutch system bleed operation under a torque of 8.4 Nm (86 kgf-cm, 74 inch lbs.) while inspecting for brake fluid leakage.
