  Q: How to install the Clutch Slave Cylinder assembly on Scion xB?

  A:

  You must fasten the clutch release cylinder assembly using its two bolts which should be tightened at 12 Nm (120 kgf-cm, 9 ft-lbf). First, tighten the flexible hose tube to the clutch release cylinder by using 15 Nm torque for those without a union nut wrench and by using 14 Nm torque for those who do have the wrench. The correct torque values need to be reached using a 300 mm (11.8 in.) torque wrench with a 22 mm (0.886 in.) union nut wrench which must remain parallel to the torque wrench. The clutch accumulator assembly requires installation as the last step.

  Q: How to service and repair the Clutch Slave Cylinder on 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.
