How to Replace a Clutch Master Cylinder on a 1991 Accord

When the clutch pedal on your Honda Accord becomes soft, theres a good chance you are experiencing a faulty clutch master cylinder. If left unchecked at this point, it is only a matter of time before the master cylinder completely fails and you will be unable to shift your car. If you have a couple of hours and minimal tools, you can replace the clutch master cylinder at home.

Instructions

1

Disconnect the cable from the negative terminal on your cars battery. This is an essential first step in any car repair due to the risk of electrical shock.

2

Pull the cotter pin located about halfway up the clutch pedal assembly. While you are under the dashboard, you also need to remove the pedal pin from the yoke.

3

Locate the master cylinder on the engine compartment side of the firewall. Turn the bolts counterclockwise to remove them from the firewall so you can remove the faulty master cylinder.

4

Remove the hydraulic lines from the master cylinder. Make sure you have rags on your work surface so you minimize the mess from leaking clutch fluid.

5

Place the hydraulic lines on the new master cylinder and install the master cylinder onto the firewall. Turn the bolts clockwise to properly tighten them.

6

Insert the pedal pin into the yoke and the cotter pin into the clutch pedal assembly.

7

Fill the fluid reservoir with clutch fluid but do not put the cap on the reservoir. Press the clutch pedal several times to expel any air pockets from the hydraulic lines and top off the reservoir with more fluid. After you have bled the lines, replace the cap and tighten it.

8

Reconnect the battery to complete the repair process.
