You will need a TORX T25 key.

1. Disconnect the wire from the terminal «minus» battery.



2. Remove the reservoir cap and pump out the brake fluid from the reservoir, for example, with a large medical syringe.



3. Disconnect from the holder on a tank a vacuum hose.



4. Press the retainer of the brake fluid level sensor wiring harness block..




5.... and disconnect the block from the sensor.



6. Squeeze the clamps of the hose tip to the master cylinder of the clutch release actuator..



7.... and disconnect the hose from the master cylinder reservoir. Install a stopper on the tank to prevent dirt from entering it.

Note. For clarity, shown on the removed brake master cylinder.



Note. Immediately after disconnecting the hose from the tank, plug its hole without lowering the hose down. A certain amount of working fluid will remain in the hose; after installing the tank and connecting the hose to it, it will not be necessary to remove air from the clutch release hydraulic drive.




8. Turn out the screw of fastening of a tank to the main brake cylinder.



9. Remove the tank, removing its branch pipes from the connecting sleeves.



10. If during operation there was a leak of brake fluid through the connecting bushings, remove the bushings from the openings of the cylinder body.


Attention! Reuse of connecting sleeves is not allowed, replace them with new ones.


11. Before installing the tank, insert the connecting sleeves into the holes of the main brake cylinder. Then install the tank by inserting its nozzles into the connecting sleeves by hand until it stops, and fix it with a screw (see point 8).

Note. To facilitate the installation of connecting sleeves in the cylinder and reservoir pipes in the sleeves, moisten them with fresh brake fluid.


12. Fill in the brake fluid and bleed the air from the hydraulic drive (see «Bleeding the hydraulic drive of the brake system»).
