9 years later, thanks you for this video! Saved me a bunch of money, well edited video, and i appreciate a longer video for work I haven’t done before so all around this is awesome.

[@ozzstars_cars]

Thanks for the comment! Glad the video was helpful. -Glen

[@Thebigd737]

Appreciate the video for this job! Helped me out a bunch! Couple of tips that helped me and could make someone else's job easier: the bracket that connects the master cylinder and clutch pedal has a habit of getting caught against the firewall making it awful to pull out. Having someone on the inside push the bracket through can make your life easier. The other thing is pulling the brake line so it feeds into the space between the firewall and the engine so it's not running into much made a huge difference for me. It took me all of 30 seconds to pull it out once I got it loose from the firewall by doing that. Didn't have to disconnect the airbox or anything. Hope these tips help someone out!

[@iamhexoronii]

Wym by pull the brake line?

[@FoxBonly]

Thanks for the good video. I had to replace this entire line several years back as it broke just as I got back from Virginia to Illinois and the OEM was an all plastic and rubber hose system which I painstakingly had to discover after an arduous search because the service notices didn't clearly post this OEM change-over to the new cast slave and hard line parts. In any case, I did this when I was 60 and I'm now 66 and not looking forward to doing the repair again, as I'm older and not a mechanic by any trade. Been an office pencil pusher my entire life. But I changed the slave and the pedal kept sticking, so I've come to the conclusion it can only be the master. Glad you had this video because I've forgotten most of the master part under the dash and this was a good reminder for me. I'm betting..........just betting, that mine too will show a sheared bolt as well. In any case, thank you. I said I would never, EVER again, replace a heater core, ignition or this system in ANY car EVER again, but a fixed, retired income dictates that I tackle it. AGAIN. dammit..........lol..........thanks dude.

[@ozzstars_cars]

I hear ya Fox. Your retired so you can take your time, get the job done and $ave a bunch of cash. Since posting this video I have learned from several viewers that the bolt head is liable to shear off. I can actually do the entire job in about 30 minutes but that's from experience, practice and having the right tools If you have no pedal pressure be sure to check for trapped air in the system. If it's not fully bled there will be very little clutch pedal resistance. A good flashlight and some reading glasses and you should be able to see if one of those bolt heads are broken before taking the unit out. Good luck and thanks for your comment! - Ozz

[@Mr_Popejoy]

I’m having the same issue with my 07 accord five speed, will not go in gear for anything when running. I already understand all the aspects of the way the clutch works but I was impressed with how well you explained it for someone who might not know. The real problem I’m having is that I have replaced both the master and the slave cylinder and it worked fine for awhile (months) and then got to where you had to rev match to shift and it won’t go in gear. I have completely bled the system very thoroughly 2 times since it started not going in gear. I pumped the clutch pedal approximately 100 times in each session and unbolted the slave and cycled it through its full range of motion and get no bubbles out and there are no leaks and the fluid stays full and the clutch pedal is adjusted to spec. I bleed the system by attaching a small silicone hose to the bleeder and run the hose back up to the reservoir, I have flushed the fluid out a couple times in the last year due to ongoing problems previous to the most recent replacement of the master cylinder. I have actually replaced it 3 times so I know the pain involved. I’m nearing my wits end on this. The previous master cylinders (3) all went bad and leaked fluid at the clutch pedal area. I think the firewall may have been tweaked in an accident and I had to shim the master to make the piston not bind up which is what ruined the others. So after fighting it for sooo looong I’m not sure what to even do. The clutch fork moves about 1/2” maybe less and does not leak down that I can tell. I even today fabricated a new slightly longer (1/4 - 3/8”) piston to activate the clutch fork and it tried to go into gear but still would not. I even did the bleeding on a steep incline so the front of car was higher cause someone thought that might help but no such luck. My system for bleeding does work because I have done it many times with success. What would you suggest?

[@ozzstars_cars]

Vacuum bleed the system. Inspect the clutch disc, usually when they wear down it begins to get hard to shift into gear.

[@davegoode867]

My mechanic just did the same re n' re on the same Honda and he told me what a pain it was. I can see why now! Thanks for the video

[@TIMG409]

Must watch video if you've been told you need a new clutch!Thanks, was about to invest $1500+ plus to replace the clutch in a 2005 TSX Acura...Excellent description why the clutch pressure plate cracked.

[@darink300zx]

This video helped me quite a bit. My master looked the same as yours, one bolt sheered off. After changing it out and getting it working again, I took the old one apart like you did, but mine looked fine inside, not cracked like yours. I guess it was enough to lose pressure so it wasn’t disengaging the clutch. Anyway, thanks.

[@ozzstars_cars]

You're welcome

[@makamania808ripz]

This just happend to my 04 accord. Same bolt same brake

[@ozzstars_cars]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Engeltj]

Fancy that! I had just purchased seemingly the exact same vacuum pump, I have the exact same car, and witnessed the very similar problems (a leak upstream somewhere that was causing the pump not to retain pressure), which lead me here. Thanks for the video!

[@ozzstars_cars]

Glad the video helped you out Tim. Thanks for watching and commenting! - Ozz

[@cpo1wh45]

Thanks for a great video. Without it, I don't believe I could have accomplished the task. My 2006 Accord 3.0 V6 was identical in the firewall area and I didn't think I would ever be able to get that cylinder out of there. After it was out, I said to myself, now how will I ever get a new one back in there? I did though. My slave unit is different from your video, so Honda made a change there. It is in the same location though. I had to ordered it online. Couple of notes. When assembling the hydraulic line to the new cylinder, It seems important to keep the orientation lined up from the old one. Otherwise, you would have to loosen and tighten the hydraulic line after it was installed. I'm not sure I could have gotten two wrenches and my hands down in there, so I opted for your procedures. I also noted that the use of a 6 wall socket is probably a good idea, especially on the slave unit. Stripping a bolt head with a 12 wall socket would likely create a whole new problem since there is no room to work down there. I also used a liberal amount of liquid wrench prior to unbolting the slave bolts. Even then It was tough and I was a little worried that one of them might not break loose without shearing the bolt. I even used a couple of short licks with an impact hammer. Whether that helped, I don't know, but at least both broke loose. I virtually duplicated your work and am grateful for your video. Oh, one more thing. This is a young man's work, not old like me, so I'm also thankful for Aleve. I'm not sure where this procedure lands on a 1-10 scale for difficulty, but for an amateur like myself, it was a 10 in the master cylinder area. Thanks again for your time and willingness to share.

[@ozzstars_cars]

+Wil Haines thats great that you fixed your car and I'm glad the video was helpful. Sometimes repairs can go from easy to super challenging in an instant, when Murphys Law kicks in!

It's a fun one!

[@MarcoH84]

Well, I also had a lot of "fun" during the replacement of the master cilinder but most fun I had was watching this video and thinking about it during the "fun" project, thanks!

[@ozzstars_cars]

haha You got it Marco!

[@jeffreyseabarkrob2864]

Within the last few days I have had to put the trans in gear and depress the clutch pedal to to floor before starting the car. I noticed that when i do that in my garage (level floor) the car begins to move forward even with the clutch fully pressed to the floor. If replacing the master and slave cylinders don't fix the problem my next step with be rebuilding the synchronization plates (install a rebuilt transmission). Keeping my fingers crossed in the mean time. Thank you for your excellent presentation and instructions.

[@d-boyz3786]

try adjusting the master/ clutch pedal. spin it one full time around and test it (clockwise is to make it engage further to the floor and counter clockwise[left] is to make it engage higher, so I would say spin it counterclockwise one time and test it.

[@ozzstars_cars]

Looks like it's a common issue. I have the same bolt broken off. Thanks! great video.

[@ozzstars_cars]

Yes it does and thanks for the comment

[@Headsup9550]

You're right about the moisture in the fluid but what happened is, water doesn't compress so it cracked the piston and broke the bolt bc something had to give. That also means that you didn't need to extend your pushrod more than likely because clearly it was already disengaging the clutch as far as it would go or the piston wouldn't have cracked

[@lonewolf36s]

wow great video. Not sure how you manage to hold the cam the whole that's insane. very helpful, thanks.

[@ozzstars_cars]

Yeah sometimes the filming is tough. I try my best. Glad the vid helped you out!

[@tobylillie6540]

I took the wheel off just for a little extra room to work with, putting the new master in was super easy for me the hardest part of the job was getting to the slave cylinder to bleed it because there is no room to work. I ended up taking off that coolant line witch freed up a lot of space and removing the slave cylinder so I could crack the line without trouble. then I just bled it from the line because you cant really get a wrench in there to use the bleeder.

[@calomine918]

I have had 3 bolts shear on me but garage just replaced bolt and filled and bled each time. Could not work out why the bolt could shear but now i know. I didn't realise this could be caused by split plate. It's back on road now but think I better get replacement unit. Good video.

Glad the video was helpful.

[@RS-dc7wy]

@@ozzstars_cars Aftermarket part is installed and works great now. The most difficulty was bleeding the system afterwards. I ended up using vacuum from my "Topsider" oil change pump, connecting it to where the steel line meets the flex line. Anyway, thanks again.

@@RS-dc7wy Glad it worked out for you.👍

[@barryallisonve3njk]

Thanks for a great video. I tackled mine with your advice and saved who knows how much in shop labour. Parts of it were a bear but I made it to the end. My hydraulic line from the master to the flex joint had three fasteners to the frame. Didn't see that one coming but we made it to the end. Your video gave me the drive to tackle the problem and it probably saved me hundreds of dollars. Thanks for the posting.....

Great video Ozz. I am about to change both on my 2007 ex. Many thanks.

[@davidburchard3178]

The broken pressure plate was caused by the broken bolt. With one side lifted up the O ring squeezed out and the pressure plate was pressed up against an uneven surface. It is hardened steel so it can not bend and that broke it.

[@ozzstars_cars]

Interesting theory, thanks.

[@ServiceComputers]

+ozzstar Thanks, helped a lot to know I haven't chunked my whole transmission during a shift. I plan to effect repairs myself shortly.

[@MrSabbatage]

Nice work. that car seems to be a regular.

[@davestevenson2013]

This is a GREAT video. Terrific detail. I like how you show every step and tell us what tools to use. By the way, do you know if you're supposed to replace the hydraulic fluid for the clutch at regular intervals?

[@ozzstars_cars]

Thanks David. The clutch fluid is brake fluid so yes it should be changed every few year but more than often it isn't. The reason to replace the fluid is because it is hygroscopic, meaning the fluid absorbs moisture and becomes less efficient and can also cause rust and corrosion internally. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@davestevenson2013]

Ozzstar That's good to know. It's not in the owners manual as a maintenance item. Just bought a few bottles of DOT 3 brake fluid to replace it on your good counsel. I'm using turkey baster method as I'm not comfortable with the bleeder bolt thing. Thanks again for your assistance and the terrific video.

[@smokescreen5238]

Thanks for the video This is a big help and so clear What kind of greace did you use on the slave cylinder by the way Thats the one thing I don't know what to do Would red high temp greace work

[@4himsanctified]

Please chime in...my son has a 2003 CRV and has had 3-4 slave cylinders fail (aside from one having 1 out of 3 0 rings (OEM Honda BTW). Has new throwout bearing, new ceramic clutch. The shop he took it to went through a couple SC's before they sent it to the Honda shop. Everyone is stumped. Other than a series of bad parts (at this point statistically not likely), where/what in the chain could be causing these failures. Besides his car has been set aside for months as the shop make money on brake jobs. Help!

[@BartlesBeee]

Why didn't you just pull the pressure fit pin and disconnecting the hydraulic line instead of removing the whole master cylinder and initial hydraulic line? I replaced my 2002 Honda Accord clutch master and slave and that's how my friend and I removed the master by "pulling the pin" then the whole master came out. Great video for my newer 2011 that needs a bleed out maintenance done on it.

[@ozzstars_cars]

What exactly is a pressure fit pin. I have worked on cars for over 30 years and never heard of that term.

[@aricv1295]

My clutch pedal bracket was half way broken off so it wasn't engaging the master cylinder. Wish I woulda known before I finished the master cylinder job -_-

+Ozzstar yea thanks for the video I was wondering why the bolt broke and couldn't find anyhing.on forums

[@ozzstars_cars]

+Raiders51fitty this is a defect for sure! I'm wondering if it has to do with an older clutch pressure plate 'sticking' at times and causing excess hydraulic pressure blowing the heads of the bolts off??? very possible

[@Raiders51fitty]

+Ozzstar good point I also think this was a defect. I ordered the "updated" one from Honda lets hope it's better. like you I went ahead and order the slave as well

[@craigwilson6498]

Thanks for this video.. it helped me in removing the MC.. I just replaced my clutch master cylinder on my 2003 Honda Accord EX.. It leaks from the inlet connector(not the threaded side) in between the threaded and the body of the cylinder.. I received an oring with the unit and slipped it over the cap housing end toward the body of the cylinder.. Is this where it is supposed to go? Or simply at the bottom of the inlet area, trapped between the cap end and cylinder housing? Thanks.. Craig

[@ozzstars_cars]

You should contact the manufacture that made the part you purchased, I never had an extra oring on this unit when replacing. What are you referring to as the cap end? cylinder housing? Not sure what you are trying to tell me, sorry

[@craigwilson6498]

+Ozzstar Thanks.. Sorry.. I meant the outlet cap.. held in place by the U shaped rod.. It wasn't really an O-ring.. but rather a bushing?? It came in a plastic bag with the unit.. I just supposed it went in the bottom of this cavity..?

[@ozzstars_cars]

Sounds to me like you are describing the plastic plug which fits inside the female threads where the hard line attaches. This is used to keep debris and moisture out until the unit is installed. It must have fallen out.

[@craigwilson6498]

+Ozzstar Thanks for reply.. No.. not the plastic plug.. It is evident what to do with this.. This is a square o-ring that slips around the outlet fitting(at the base.. down at the bottom of the outlet(hardline) cavity.. I bought the oem from Oreilly's and it had problems with not being made correctly in the cavity area.. returned it and went to NAPA and fixed my problem.. Thanks again for the video..

[@Meatwithjenger]

I have an acura tsx 2006, and its set up is just like your accord. Now for the master cylinder, I got to part where I am taking out the assembly of the master cylinder. I can't take it out becuase the clutch line runs around a metal area where I tried to take the line out but the gap is to small. I was wondering, how did you remove it?

[@glen-ozzstarscars8474]

Watch the video all the way through. I show down low with the flashlight where I disconnect the metal line. The clutch master cylinder is removed including about 1 foot of metal line as an assembly. Have fun , thanks for watching- Ozz

[@edallen8134]

Not sure about sabotage, more likely poor design and/or fastener selection. When replacing my clutch master, I opted to replace the 3 bolts with grade 10.9 flange bolts through bolted to a nylon lock nut. Hopefully that is the weak link in the chain.

[@rztrzt]

Is it possible to do a diy rebuild of the master & slave cylinder assuming you don't have the broken disc issue?

[@ozzstars_cars]

rztrzt anything is possible but it is more cost effective to just replace the entire unit to save time and money. Sometimes if QUALITY seals can be found it is the way to go, more often then not throw out the old and bolt in the new 'junk'. lol Take it easy - Ozz

[@luciferlight5082]

After trying to change my master cylinder on my 2001 honda accord i lost the pin that holds the break lines to the master Cylinder ,so i brought it to canadian tire and they cheaped out by using a 39 cent cotter pin . if you are familiar with the accord u know exactly what im talking about . the pin holds the brake lines in ;no bolts and if it sheers off game over no brakes. the factory pin is precision fit with special metal alloy designed for that . not a cotter pin or whatever they call it.

[@ozzstars_cars]

You need to order the oem pin for sure. Canadian tire needs to know how dangerous there repair is! Ughhh I hate hack work.

[@hexxenaskani7778]

Hi! its a great video Ozz, i started changing my clutch cylinders today just stepped on one problem, the line from the main pump to the first intersection goes under a piece of circular metal, i already took the slave out and loosen the whole line under the engine and cut the plastic that holds the line under the air filter, but the line seems to be stuck under that circle.... i assume thats the hard part you told us about, how did you get it out? is there another clip or something?can i just pull it out strong? hope you can answer soon....

[@BboyDaquack]

watched the whole vid! great video man. my 2011 honda fit sport clutch has been feeling a wee bit vibrated or almost a bit sticky when it engages throughout all the gears. You think it might be a master/slave cylinder issue? not really sure.

[@ozzstars_cars]

+HingleMcCringleBerry anything is possible. If it is a high mileage vehicle I would bleed all the old fluid out and put new fluid in. See if that smooths things out for you. As long as both the master clutch cylinder and slave cylinder are not leaking and 'functioning okay. If the new fluid doesnt cure the issue then its time to diagnose further. Start off simple, easy and inexpensive. Take care and good luck

[@BboyDaquack]

+Ozzstar the car actually only has 39k miles on it.

perfect video. I struggled hard with the high pressure line removal. I only did the master cylinder and now I'm slowly leaking clutch fluid. I go through a whole reservoir in about 2,000 miles. my issue is that I can't find the leak. is it likely slowly dripping from the boot and not collecting? I'm going to replace the slave and see if that helps.

[@ozzstars_cars]

It's not leaking back inside the car on the floorboard is it? That seal can go bad. After replacing that much fluid you should see the leak.

[@tannervice7753]

Ozzstar nope. It's not leaking inside at all. it either has to be leaking from the line I messed with or from the slave at the boot and it's just not hitting anything on its way down. I can't find any wetness

[@ozzstars_cars]

+Tanner Vice the fluid is going somewhere?!?

[@tannervice7753]

that's the problem. i can't find where the fluid is going, so I can't see where it is coming from. I was wondering if you had any tricks to help me figure it out. wherever it leaks from, it isn't hitting anything or collecting anywhere obvious.

+Rachel do you mean the pedal goes to the floor without any resistence? There is still air in the system. Make sure all connections are tight and not leaking any fluid. Use a vacuum pump for best results getting the air out of the line.

Its unfortunate that you didnt film the reinstall. How did you disconnect the hard line from the master cylinder once you got it out the car? Did you have to put it in a vise?

[@glen-ozzstarscars8474]

Not unfortunate because you wouldn't be able to see a thing.Install is reverse of removal. The clutch master on this car is way back in there deep on the firewall, no way to film it. Watch the video again, i show the U clip that is removed which holds the hard line fitting in place. Thanks for watching

[@therealjharris]

ozzstar Got it. I'm replacing mine now. Pressed out the U-clip with a large pair of pliers and the line popped right off. Fortunately, I was able to get the MC out of the car without taking off the air hose. I had to snake it across the firewall toward the passenger side. Still was a bitch though.

[@raulflores2129]

also forgot to mention i have a 2003 honda accord 2.4

[@yahadyjasvula3165]

Perfecto.. es el mismo carro que tengo y hoy me sucedió el mismo problema. Gracias estuvo bueno el video.

[@ozzstars_cars]

👍 gracias

[@Kingsynz]

Hey Ozzstar, what would you recommend for removal in a situation where the 10mm nut is stuck on the slave cylinder?

[@ozzstars_cars]

If you mean stuck like corroded or rusted I would use PBlaster and let it soak overnight. Then if that didn't work I would heat the nut with a torch and then bust it loose. Hope that helps you out

[@jogmas12]

2004 accord here with 222,000 miles. Its on it’s 3rd hydraulic clutch cylinder. The pedal seems to be sticking at the top towards the end of the pedal movement but only on first and second gears. Transmission shifts good. Am I having an issue with the cylinder again? Thanks.

[@ozzstars_cars]

I really can't diagnose an issue like that over the internet. Aftermarket parts don't always work that great. I have seen old slave cylinders "stick".

[@Fizzygmf]

How many hours of tech labor should there be to replace the Master & Slave on a 2007 Accord LX (4cyl 2.4)?

[@ozzstars_cars]

Depends who the tech is. lol shouldn't take more than 1.25 hours. I can do it in 35 mins.

[@justint6743]

Great video!

[@ozzstars_cars]

Thanks Justin, I appreciate your support!

[@delroylinton538]

I replaced slave and master cylinder and clutch and still won’t go into gear

[@ozzstars_cars]

Did you check the clutch disk and pressure plate?

[@antorome2266]

Hey any info will help!!! My clutch still has pressure ( my clutch doesn't go to the ground))).. I'm able to start it but ones it's on I cant get it in gear.....

[@ozzstars_cars]

Time to do some further checking

[@odanyboy84]

Thanks for the great video ozzstar.. I have a question bud?? I just replaced the master cylinder on a 05 Acura TL 6speed.. I'm having a difficult time bleeding the cylinder?? I'm doing the bleeding through the slave master cylinder that sits at the front of motor?? Is that the correct way to doit?? Or do you bleed the Master and Slave cylinder individually?? I would really appreciate a reply from anyone that knows what to do in my situation?? It's my first time replacing one of these.. Thanks

[@ozzstars_cars]

+El Matador Tapia the proper way to bleed the CLUTCH master cylinder is through the slave cylinder. Best to use a vacuum pump to bleed the air out. It can be done manually by pumping the clutch pedal but it is tricky and difficult and takes a lot more time. Hope that helps you out.

[@odanyboy84]

+Ozzstar Thanks a lot pal!! I will definitely skip the pump the pedal for days bleeding process and use a vacuum pump. Keep the good videos coming 👌

[@Kr0n3kLe]

I did this part on an RSX once and getting it back in was hard. Did the Accord have enough room to easily install the Master?

[@ozzstars_cars]

It's a little bit tight but can be done fairly easy. If wide open space is easy and impossible clearance mean no access, I'd put it in between. Wiggle and twist and its done. I haven't seen an RSX setup so I have no comparison.

[@Kr0n3kLe]

I have an 06 Accord was fine a few days ago went to go somewhere and wont go into gear. I changed the clutch kit sep 2016. Found a leaking slave, going to check the master next. Creeps forward when started in gear and holding clutch pedal down. What do you think, master or drop tranny again?

[@DeathKrew812]

Ours did same exact thing bolt head broke off

[@alexmacias3055]

Hi Ozz I think I have this problem if you can help answer, my car 05 accord 4cyl starts and runs. I can down press my clutch firmly like normal and goes into any gear I want but won’t go anywhere. Also feels like I can put it in any gear without pressing in the clutch. Thank you for your time.

[@ozzstars_cars]

Need to check that the slave cylinder is.moving, also proper cllutch operation.

[@dannynica7480]

So when you have no pressure or very little pressure on the clutch petal is the master cylinder failure?? i have a honda crv but thanks god never had an issue, yet. it has about 120k miles

[@ozzstars_cars]

Can also be a slave cylinder, low fluid due to a leak, worn clutch disk, broken pressure plate.

[@dannynica7480]

@@ozzstars_cars Thank you very much for your repply, so how you figured in this case was the master cylinder? I understand you changing the slave cylinder at the same time (you took a smart guess)???

[@ozzstars_cars]

@@dannynica7480 I dont guess I test. Watch the video again, broken bolt on the master, fluid leak.

[@adilelhajji1191]

very thanks man

[@ozzstars_cars]

You are welcome, thank you

[@loufigs87]

sucks i gotta do this crap this weekend smh Damn it! Great video btw 👍

[@ozzstars_cars]

thanks Lou. hopefully this vid will save you some time

[@loufigs87]

+Ozzstar Most definitely saved me time and mone thanks.. But I have a huge leak in the clutch slave but i had the clutch master cylinder changed a year ago should i change that too?

[@ozzstars_cars]

If it's only a year old and working well I don't see a reason to change it. Good luck with the repair man. Let me know how it turns out. The slave is much esier to replace than the master clutch

[@loufigs87]

+Ozzstar Hey man thanks for all your help, my clutch pedal feels great! I really appreciate the fact your replied back to me help me out and again THANKS BRO much love

[@ozzstars_cars]

Glad you got it fixed loufigs. thats what my channel is all about, helping people out. now your weekend is free to play instead of work! haha take it easy- ozz

[@raulflores2129]

my car is having problems clutch does not slips but when i try going from neutral or every time i change gears is hard for it to go into gear and sometimes it grinds.....my master cylinder feels weird....it does not leak at all but i have to push the pedal all the way to the bottom for it to go in gear.....hoping is the master cylinder any thoughts or ideas of what it might be.. .i need help thanks

[@YogVee]

my tsx has a similar issue, hard to go in gear and grinds on reverse. did you ever figure out what the problem was?

[@dulanmakuddala7434]

What is that part which had that broken disc, what is it use for

[@ozzstars_cars]

If you leave a time mark in the video I might know what you mean?

[@GideonsArmy]

kind of a late comment, but need some help. The same thing happened to my '03 accord, I replaced the master cylinder, hooked up everything well, but for some reason the master is not pumping the fluid through to the slave. I filled up the reservoir and it does not get sucked into the system. It just sits there. I crakc open the bleeder while having someone depress the clutch, and no fluid comes out. Just sits in the reservoir. Any help is appreciated. Tried a vacuum pump and nothing.

[@ozzstars_cars]

It is very difficult to bleed the clutch master just by pumping the pedal. It will take a lot of time. Best bet is to vacuum bleed with a pump. Takes only about a minute that way.

[@GideonsArmy]

Ozzstar thanks for replying. I rented one at an auto parts store, hooked it up and pumped it from the slave but no luck. I will try again with a better pump.

[@hijayhonhijayhon1290]

thx

[@VictorEloy93]

Any help will do. 2004 accord v6 6 speed. My clutch sticks very lightly at high RPMS. When I shift around 3000 it feels fine, no sticking. Any answers?

[@ozzstars_cars]

Victor i would have to road test the car to give you a correct answer. Is the hydraulic clutch bled properly? Car have high mileage original clutch? Pressure plate could be getting weak, it could be lots of things. Have it checked by a trusted mechanic. Post back what you find, take care Victor

[@d-boyz3786]

sounds like a clutch pressure plate to me, does it grind too?

[@TheBalcerman]

6:45 - what is the point of replacing slave?!? The fact that master burst (famous diaphragm burst plate) has nothing to do with slave cylinder.

[@ozzstars_cars]

Car had 165K miles on it and almost 10 years. The time savings of bleeding the entire system once with new parts is not only convenient but makes it more reliable. That's the point 6:55.

[@josephlee4006]

how did you put the cmc back in with the clutch line attached? :/

[@ozzstars_cars]

Exactly the same way i took it out attached, except in reverse.

[@tracyrawls7122]

Just that 2005 Acura TSX has the same sheared bolt :(

[@ozzstars_cars]

Honda/Acura same thing 😉

[@desertfox4273]

I got the Ktuned one

[@anthonyalford397]

Brad Aaron m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/hqDIZIxtn8p3aMk Is mine not working properly?

[@generalayham342]

Thank you . Could please tell me how bleed and evacuate air manually after install Mc ?

[@ozzstars_cars]

bleeding the clutch master cylinder is difficult by hand/foot pumping the pedal, you will need 2 people. one person inside the car, the other person at the slave cylinder bleed fitting Get a vacuum pump and you can get the job done fast and by yourself, make life easy.
