• Q: How to reassemble the Clutch Slave Cylinder on 2008 Toyota Solara?

  A: When rebuilding the clutch release cylinder start by mounting the release cylinder bleeder plug with 8.4 Nm (85 kgf-cm, 74 in-lbf) torque. Install the clutch release cylinder kit by first sealing the bleeder plug with a cap then adding the new spring to the cylinder body and lubricating the piston with lithium soap base glycol grease before mounting the piston together with the push rod inside the cylinder body followed by boot installation. Fasten the clutch release cylinder assembly to the vehicle by using 2 bolts tightened to 12 Nm (120 kgf-cm, 9 ft-lbf). The installation of the clutch accumulator assembly requires two nuts and a bolt which must achieve 12 Nm (120 kgf-cm, 9 ft-lbf) torque. The clutch release cylinder needs to be connected to the flexible hose tube through Special Service Tool: 09023-00101 before tightening the flexible hose tube to 15 Nm (155 kgf-cm, 11 ft-lbf) and subsequently installing the bolt and tube clamp bracket with 12 Nm (120 kgf-cm, 9 ft-lbf). Bleeding of the clutch system follows after filling the brake reservoir tank with clutch fluid while keeping the bleeder plug torque at 8.4 Nm (85 kgf-cm, 74 in-lbf). Complete the maintenance by checking clutch fluid leakage then checking the fluid level in the reservoir.
