• Q: How to replace the Clutch Master Cylinder on 2005 GMC Canyon?

  A: Use the j 42371 (J 42371) hydraulic clutch line separator to gently push the white plastic sleeve back on the quick connect and release the hydraulic Clutch Hose from the clutch actuator, making sure the check valves keep most fluid in. First, support and raise the vehicle, and afterwards detach the clutch hydraulic hose retainer located on the inner fender. Position the vehicle on the ground and make a quarter turn clockwise to the Clutch Master Cylinder before you pull it out with the hose from the cowl. To set up, run the clutch hydraulic hose under the brake booster, and slide the Clutch Master Cylinder into the cowl so the reservoir cap is at the 1:30 position. Twist the Clutch Master Cylinder counterclockwise 1/8 turn so it is all the way seated, and check that the cap is straight up at 12:00. Elevate the vehicle one more time, being careful that the clutch hydraulic hose stays away from sharp or hot spots, and then push the quick connect fitting of the hydraulic hose firmly onto the Clutch Slave Cylinder, making sure there is a clear click and that it stays put. Fasten the retainer for the clutch hydraulic hose to the inner fender, lower the vehicle, and put a new retainer onto the Clutch Master Cylinder push rod . Next, put the Clutch Master Cylinder push rod onto the clutch pedal pin to keep it in place, set the clutch release switch and clutch pedal position switch, and bleed the clutch hydraulic system if you feel it is needed.
