Toyota Clutch Slave and Master Cylinder Replacement Tutorial 

Like most of us looking this up, we have a pretty good understanding of the details but to have a visual aid like this is really helpful. Thank you for posting.

Awesome!! Well done, thx so much for posting this. You may have actually given me the confidence to attempt clutch cylinder replacements!!

I am so happy I found this video. You have a new sub! I did the slave cylinder, master cylinder, and the entire clutch kit. I was losing my mind thinking I was bleeding the clutch wrong when I found your video. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

Just had this break on mine, glad to see it's not impossible to fix myself!

About to change my clutch M/S, watched this; now I know that I also have to weld my pedal back on. Thanks for the great vid.

Great video

Good video. I’ve lost sockets like that before. Love the truck! Good job.

Such a quality video

nice man! i never cracked a brake pedal assembly before... ive heard of it happening though... nice repair. i like how you fixed it insead of just buying a new one... too many people nowadays are just parts changers... im starting to gain momentum with my build. lots of custom wizardry going on haha! once its finished, we should totally meet up and go wheelin haha! id love to go back to the koots and and visit the ole rompin grounds haha!

I have a question when you were trying to put it in first what the pedal all the way down didn't seem to want to take off on you before you let the pedal all the way back out

Bleeding it can be really fun sometimes

I'm about to go do this now...The bracket part, mine is cracked too. You may wan't to consider modifying the title of your video since this appears to be a common problem with these trucks/4runners. Anyway, this is a great video, there is another one on here where they guy dropped the steering column but you didn't so that's great info to have going in.

video is good. is it common for that plate to break. i mean im having shifting into 1st and grinding reverse problems. should i look for a that break or are you just rough on breaking and shifting?

Same thing happened to me a couple years ago, those brackets love to break! Great video, love that you put the welding footage in

What are the specs on the 2 bolts that bolt down the slave cylinder?

Thank you very much but this video now I know how to do mine right on dude appreciate it

looks easy tjanks for the video. I gotta do my 2005 Hilux which has a soft clutch, hoping it's just air in the line and not the clutch itself. How do you bleed the system after the reinstall of the master and slave, and, is it a two person job?

I came across your video because I have to do the same on my 86 pickup(the beast) thanks so much

Do you have a video of you swapping from automatic to manual?

Nice share. 👍

Ok, but how do I get the old slave cylinder pin out of the clutch fork?

LOL! Leaving the wrench on the bleeder crew. I have been there.

Nice job... I had this popping noise on one of my yotas when I pushed the clutch in.... could never figure out what it was.. cant tell you how many master and clutch cylinders I did.... Must be nice to have bigger tires and a lift kit when you are working under the dash,,, I've done a few in my time in vehicles that were normal height with no lift... maybe I Should have jacked it up or put it up on ramps.. its a pain workin on your knees on something under the dash like this...Its also a lot of neck strain with the drviers seat in the way...

You can get the pens for primer, maybe even etch primer, oil based paint, and clearcoat. I use the pens whenever I drill a new hole in my car, that isn't a ground. The oil based pens would keep the M/cyl enlarged hole from rusting, which could be an issue if you offroad it, or plan on keeping it.

Thanks !

Nice..all of a sudden can't catch 3rd or 4th gear. Have 1st 2nd 5th and reverse..the clutch is New.. Couls it be the master Cylinder.?

Maybe a bit of a glossary is in order, it really helps describing things as opposed to “pull the little pin holding the big pin” Maybe try “pull the cotter pin holding the clevis pin”. English is such a useful and descriptive language!

Do you know if leaving the cap off the brake master cylinder for several hours will ruin the seals on a 86 Toyota truck.

how far down does the clutch pedal engages? mine has to be all the way down to the floor and 1st its not easy but reverse makes noise to engage. the sistema has been bleaded twice after master and slave cylinder swap. any thoughts?

what is the spring connected to the pedal called and what if my truck doesn’t have one?

I know this comment is related to this vid. But i wanna know where did you get your lift kits for the Toyota Corolla? Ive been trying to get my car lifted so i can make it my own rally driver.

Nice vid!!!!!

god damnit I just went through the same thing to find out my pedal assembly cracked...in the same spot. I ended up drilling through the firewall and running a bolt and nut to tighten back into place. I felt so dumb when I found it. I even dropped the trans and replaced the clutch, granted it needed a new clutch anyway.

My pedal is mushy and soft and it will hardly go into gear. Do you. Think it’s the slave cylinder

Thanks for the clear explanation! Now i'm confident i can do this myself.

Fuck yeah, man!

Depending on model, those slave line fittings can be too tightly spaced to get much leverage on.

I think this is what is happening with my 89 3.4 swap i did replace slave and master cilinder clutch and gears wont go smooth i may have that braket broken

Hey great tutorial, thanks for the video but why are you not in Hollywood? you look like Chris Pratt you could be his double or something! LOL, good video!...I am replacing these in a 2004 Toyota Corolla as part of general mechanic overhaul, unfortunately on that year and models the studs are not part of the firewall as here but part of the part itself which made it a PITA to get it out; also the space is tucked in on the engine bay; I had to take off the brake master and power booster, as one unit to be able to get the clutch master out and on the other side under the dash it was impossible to reach those bolts for the clutch master so I ended up uninstalling the whole dashboard, including steering removal, several hours to do because in the space under dash board no tool could be get in there no matter how I tried plus the position was killing me, once I got the dashboard out of the way and also the fuse box I could access the nuts with a long 1/4 extension and a swivel, the manual does not explains this but I think the way it was engineered is moronic and unnecessary even for a trained mechanic, now that I got the dashboard out I am tempted to replace the evaporator as well for my AC which blows hot air but I know compressor works ok and so the relay as they were tested; low freon due to a leak somewhere in an system that have been on for all these years maybe calls for maintenance replacement. Today I am putting back the clutch master and brake power booster with its master cylinder, then had the wrong part for the slave cylinder, just ordered at Amazon, same OEM parts AISIN, on one note this would have been even more difficult if the engine was in the bay as the engine is sitting in my garage almost ready to drop back in, so at least I have plenty of space on the engine bay side which is why I thought it would be good idea to replace clutch hydraulics as clutch was replaced as well.

So that's what happens to 10mm wrenches.... 😆

Literally just replaced my brake assembly with the same crack on my 1990 4runner

Did you mean clutch pedal?

This guy didn't know he could unscrew the piece that goes into the firewall

10mm’s are always up to mischief

you should have panned out and shown where the slave cylinder is located, looks like it could be anywhere in the hood or under the car, otherwise great video

Probably would have just used the plunger from the old master cylinder.

He doesnt explain how to prime the clutch, thats actually the most precise detail you are missing.

How bout if you’re doing a tutorial video start with where on the vehicle the parts are located

Lol if you're taking a dremel tool to cut and modify your Toyota to make a clutch master fit, you need to change part supplier that's a bunch of shit!

I don't like videos that just explain and don't show

A dremel tool to make it fit 😆🤦‍♂️🤣🤣🤣 Don't need to be watching your videos 😂😂😂

Go directly to the point instead.
