3. Remove the three bolts securing the slave cylinder to the clutch housing...
4.... and remove the cylinder assembly with the clutch release bearing from the clutch housing.
NOTE: Check the new bearing before installation. It should rotate easily, without jamming and noise and have no backlash. Check the ease of movement of the bearing on the guide of the working cylinder by pressing it in the axial direction. The bearing should move to the stop without jamming and clearly return to its original position by the compression spring.
5. Remove the sealing rubber ring from the grooves of the clutch housing by prying it with a screwdriver.
6. Replace the clutch release bearing o-ring regardless of its condition.
7. Establish the working cylinder of a drive of deenergizing of coupling in gathering with the bearing in an order, the return to removal. Tighten the bolts of the working cylinder to the clutch housing with a torque of 7 Nm.
8. Attach a tube to the working cylinder and tighten the nut of its fastening.
9. Install the gearbox (see «Removal and installation of a manual transmission»).
