• Q: How to Remove and Service a Clutch Slave Cylinder on 2007 Jeep Patriot?

  A: You should start the service and repair of the Clutch Slave Cylinder by eliminating the engine cover and the air cleaner assembly. After taking off the lower instrument panel covering, disconnect the battery negative cable. Then, pull the retaining clip from the pushrod at the clutch pedal and from the hydraulic supply tube at the clutch master cylinder to take out the tube. To empty the master cylinder and tubing well, you should open the brake master cylinder cap and put the drained fluid into a suitable container. Make sure to separate the line that feeds the clutch master cylinder from the brake master cylinder reservoir. You should also try to put a cap on the port or collect any brake fluid there. Take care when you remove the clutch master cylinder or you could damage the hydraulic tube and end up with improper clutch release after you put it all back together. Always notice that brake fluid may damage paint, so make sure to wash off any spills straight away with water. Then, turning the assembly a quarter turn, gently pull on the hydraulic pipe to fully unhook it from the left rail and engine compartment.
