1. Clean reservoir cap and slave cylinder in the area of tube connection.
2. Remove slave cylinder from transmission bellhousing, then use a 3/32 inch punch to drive out the pin that holds the tube. Remove tube from the slave cylinder and place end into a container of waste fluid.
3. Hold slave cylinder so connector port is approximately at 30 degrees angle. Fill with approved DOT 3 brake fluid. Rock or push on the pushrod to expel all air. Ensure no moisture or dirt enters the slave cylinder.
4. Ensure that all air is expelled before installing slave cylinder.
