Removal and Installation (Right Hand Drive)

REMOVAL - RHD
1. Disconnect and isolate the negative battery cable.

2. Remove the master cylinder from the vehicle (Fig. 110).
3. Remove the air cleaner assembly.
4. Remove the battery and battery tray from the vehicle.




5. Remove the heater core coolant supply tube support bracket bolts (Fig. 111).
6. Remove the (2) coolant reservoir retaining bolts from the dash panel. Disconnect the coolant overflow hose from the thermostat housing and remove the coolant reservoir from the dash panel.
7. Working from underneath the instrument panel, disconnect the brake pedal push rod. Remove the retaining clip from the end of the brake pedal mounted stud, then slide the push rod straight off the pin.
8. If equipped, disconnect the clutch pedal push rod. Depress the plastic retention clip on the end of the clutch pedal mounted stud, while sliding the push rod straight off the stud.

10. Remove the (4) brake booster retaining nuts.
11. Working from inside the engine compartment, remove the (2) clutch fluid reservoir retaining bolts from the dash panel.
12. Remove the clutch master cylinder from the dash panel by pulling it straight out. Position the reservoir and line assembly out of the way.

Rotate the clutch master cylinder to line up the square shaped retaining boss with the square shaped opening in the brake pedal support bracket. Once the cylinder is inserted through the brake pedal support bracket rotate 90° to lock it in position.
8. Connect the clutch pedal push rod. Slide the push rod on the clutch pedal mounted stud until the plastic retention clip locks it in place.
9. Install the coolant reservoir. Torque the retaining bolts to 7 Nm (62 inch lbs.). Connect the coolant overflow hose on the thermostat housing.
