Clutch Master Cylinder

REMOVAL & INSTALLATION

  1. On 1988–89 626 and MX-6 equipped with ABS, remove the ABS relay box located forward of the brake power booster on the driver's side. Unfasten the hydraulic line from the master cylinder outlet. On 1988–89 turbocharged 626/MX-6s and on all 929s, disconnect the line from the banjo fitting, leave the union fitting connected to the master cylinder.
  2. Remove the nuts which secure the master cylinder assembly to the firewall. On some vehicles one or both of these nuts are accessible from the inside of the cabin.
  3. Withdraw the master cylinder and gasket straight out; away from the firewall. Inspect the gasket. If it is still in good condition use it again, otherwise a new gasket must be used during installation.
