• Q: How to service and repair the Clutch Master Cylinder on 2000 Chevrolet Camaro?

  A: The first step for Clutch Master Cylinder service and repair requires drivers to take out three parts: driver side instrument panel insulator and drive side knee bolster. Start by removing the clutch pedal pin retainer before extracting the Clutch Master Cylinder push rod from its position on the clutch pedal pin. Disassemble the front dash-mounted Clutch Master Cylinder by taking off the nuts , push on brackets and u-shaped bolt before pulling it out to service. Support your vehicle at an optimal height before lowering the vehicle back down. Deploy the hydraulic clutch line separator (J 36221) by depressing its white circular release ring which allows gentle hose pull to disconnect components and protect all couplings from dirt and damage. Next lower the vehicle and remove the Clutch Master Cylinder reservoir push-in retainer to slide the reservoir out from the hood strut bracket allowing you to extract the Clutch Master Cylinder from the vehicle. The installation process requires placing the front dash component of the Clutch Master Cylinder through the opening and guiding the reservoir into the hood strut bracket before using the push-in retainer for attachment. You should lift your vehicle before you attach the master cylinder hose to the actuator while ensuring tight hydraulic connections without counting on audio or visual indicators. Before the vehicle lands inspect hydraulic hoses for adequate hose alignment until vehicle is fully on the ground. Fasten the Clutch Master Cylinder u-bolt followed by push on nuts then nuts and torque the nuts to 20 nm (15 ft. Lbs.). To complete the procedure reconnect the Clutch Master Cylinder push rod to the clutch pedal pin where you will fasten it in place by using the clutch pedal pin retainer. After installing the drive side knee bolster and driver side instrument panel insulator you should perform a clutch hydraulic system bleed.
