Re: how to change clutch master cylinder? (TeginRAGE)
This is off the top of my head so forgive me if something is inaccurate:
First drain the master cylinder of all its fluid. Next loosen the line fitting with a 12mm line wrench. If you don't have one buy one. A regular wrench will strip the head off and then you are fucked. Once the line is loose move to the inside of the car.
There are 2 nuts up on the firewall inside the car. They are 12mm and 1 is a bitch to get to. You will need a deep 12mm and a 3" extension. Take these 2 nuts off. You will also need to disconnect the the clutch pedal from the master. This is a pin and a clip. Pull the clip and slide the pin out. Once all this is done pull the master off the car.
Reinstallation is the same as removal just reversed. When bleeding get a friend to help. Open the bleeder and push the pedal down. Close the bleeder and then pull the pedal back up. Do this for 2 complete resivoirs full of fluid but DON'T run the resivoir dry.

No problem. It should all make more sense once you look at all of it.
One note - As I sat here and thought about it I realized that the line might actually be a 10mm. Not to worry. Go to Sears and ask for a 10mm/12mm line wrench (or maybe a flarenut wrench). It is about $6 and it has both the 10mm and 12mm on it.
Good luck!

It is on the side of the transmission right across from the cooling fan. You will see a rubber hose that comes off a steel line at the frame rail. Follow it to the second hard line on the tranny side. This hard line goes into the slave cylinder.
To remove this first loosen the hard line at the cylinder - either an 8mm or a 10mm line wrench is required. Next take out the 2 10mm bolts that hold the rubber line bracket to the tranny. Finally pull the 2 12mm bolts out of the slave cylinder and pull it off. Installation is the reverse order. Make sure you put the line into the slave cylinder BEFORE you bolt it to the car. If you don't you could get it in crooked and crossthread it. Bleeding is the same as the master only you don't need to do it anywhere near as much. 4-5 times is all you need.
