  Q: How to replace the Clutch Slave Cylinder on Mitsubishi Montero?

  A:

  The Clutch Slave Cylinder is found on the side of the transmission bellhousing. To start off, lift up the car and place jackstands under it. By taking off the bolt from the banjo fitting located on the cylinder body, disconnect the hydraulic line from the Clutch Slave Cylinder, and then remove the bolt(s) and pull off the Clutch Slave Cylinder. Subsequently, remove the dust boot and pushrod. Mount the Clutch Slave Cylinder body in a padded vise and use compressed air to blow the piston and spring out of the bore, keeping your hands clear of the piston. Remove and inspect the bleeder screw, then check the piston surface and cylinder bore for scoring or bright wear areas. If either is found, discard the cylinder and buy a new one. If components are good, wash them in clean brake fluid. Remove the piston cup, discard it whilst taking note of cup lips orientation. Get hold of a repair kit complete with all new items then finger-tighten the new piston cup. This will ensure that the lips are correctly positioned. Before installing the piston assembly along with the spring into the cylinder, dip the piston assembly in clean brake fluid and reinstall the bleeder screw. Finish the reassembly by inserting the pushrod and attaching the dust cover on the cylinder housing. To install, reverse removal. Use new sealing washers at banjo fitting. After installation, bleed the clutch hydraulic system.
