OEM 2009 Scion xB Clutch Master Cylinder

2009 Scion xB Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to install the clutch master cylinder assembly on 2009 Scion xB?

  A: The clutch master cylinder assembly installation requires two nuts to be tightened at 13 Nm torque (129 kgf-cm or 9 ft-lbf). The installation of the flexible hose tube should be done with a union nut wrench under 15 Nm torque (154 kgf-cm, 11 ft-lbf) without wrench use or 14 Nm torque (143 kgf-cm, 10 ft-lbf) with wrench use. Note that the desired torque value is achievable with torque wrenches offering 300 mm (11.8 in.) and 22 mm (0.886 in.) lengths for their fulcrum and that the union nut wrench must be parallel to the torque wrench. After placing the clutch reservoir tube correctly against the clutch master cylinder use the clip for attachment while verifying that the tube remains untwisted and the white mark points upward. A lubricating application of MP grease must be done on both the pin and clevis bush contact surfaces before attaching the clutch pedal to the clevis using the pin and clip by inserting the pin from the right side of the vehicle. As a final step install the clip onto the pin before you move forward with brake booster assembly installation and a subsequent examination and adjustment of the clutch pedal sub-assembly.
