Tacoma Clutch Master Cylinder Install

[@cjsmoochie9136]

Thank You for showing how to bleed it out of slave cylinder! Very helpful

[@widicus]

no need to take out the clutch pedal assembly, the master cyl will slide out alone

[@makinitwork416]

Yes it can, but it's awkward. I opted to remove the whole unit.

Great video. Wish you had shown where that third bolt/bracket was once the assembly was on the bench.

[@makinitwork416]

crap, sorry @michaelgreene ! The bolt stayed attached to the truck. I just loosened the bolt and the assembly slides out.

@@makinitwork416 I found it. After finding it and looking at your video again you did show it at then 6:50 mark. Once the fuse box is dropped it is easily seen and can be loosened with a wrench. I just loosened the bolt a little and it came out with the pedal assembly as there is a groove in the bracket. Originally I tried to just remove the master cylinder. Bad idea. I got it out but was unable to get the supply hose on the new one so I ended up pulling the whole assembly out. Your video helped. Thanks.

I have a 2005 and what I did because I'm 6 foot tall was take out the seat and lay down a blanket and laid comfortably on my back and just removed the hydraulic line and the two bolts that hold the cylinder in place the seat is only 4 bolts and a connector the whole job probably took less than an hour

[@makinitwork416]

whoa! That's an awesome idea! I never thought about taking the seat out!

What year is yours? On mine (2008) the clutch and brakes share a reservoir.

[@makinitwork416]

Ah yes, I think it changed in 2010. Mine is a 2010 :)

[@1995dresser]

Mine also shares the brake reservoir
