  Q: How do you remove and install the slave cylinder in a clutch hydraulic system on Honda Prelude?

  A: To replace the clutch slave cylinder it is situated on the transaxle near the radiator and the following steps are taken. Remove the flare fitting with steel line from the clutch slave cylinder assembly by the removal of the attaching bolts and then detach the clutch slave cylinder from the clutch housing. In the case of installation the removal procedure needs to be reversed and only new DOT 3 or 4 brake fluid from a sealed container ought to be used to refill the clutch hydraulic system this should be followed by filling and bleeding the clutch system with the same brake fluid. When bleeding the hydraulic system, be certain to use DOT 3 or 4 brake fluid from a clean sealed container for the clutch master reservoir and if any is spilled, clean immediately to avoid thinning of the vehicle's paint. First, it is advisable to use a siphon, a turkey baster for the draining of old brake fluid; if you are unable to do this, you might have to remove the clutch master cylinder reservoir bracket and pour the fluid in a proper pitcher. If the reservoir was removed, put it back in and fill with fresh brake fluid up to the MAX. Open the drain cock and flush the inside of the reservoir well then place a flare or box end wrench on the clutch slave cylinder bleeder screw and connect one end of the rubber tube to it and let the other end dip in a clear drain container having brake fluid in it. Check that the clutch master cylinder is filled, then open the bleeder screw and get an assistant to depress the clutch pedal all the way down. When using the pedal, turn the bleed screw and when it is released let off the pedal and examine the fluid level of the reservoir and add when necessary. Perform these steps over until the bloody fluid that is coming out of the bleed screw is clear of foams and void of air bubbles and resupply the master clutch cylinder reservoir as required.
