  Q: How to replace a clutch master cylinder on Nissan 350Z?

  A: Clamp a pair of locking pliers onto the clutch fluid feed hose, a couple of inches downstream of the clutch fluid reservoir (the clutch master cylinder is supplied with fluid from the clutch fluid reservoir). The pliers should be just tight enough to prevent fluid flow when the hose is disconnected. Disconnect the reservoir hose from the clutch master cylinder. Working under the dashboard, remove the driver's side knee bolster, disconnect the clutch master cylinder pushrod from the pedal by removing the clip from the clutch pedal pin. Separate the hydraulic line from the cylinder. Have rags handy as some fluid will be lost as the line is removed. Cap or plug the end of the line to prevent fluid leakage and the entry of contaminants. Don't allow brake fluid to come into contact with the paint, as it will damage the finish. Working under the dash, remove the master cylinder mounting nuts and detach the master cylinder. Connect the hydraulic line fitting to the clutch master cylinder. Attach the fluid feed hose from the reservoir to the clutch master cylinder and tighten the hose clamp. Remove the locking pliers. Place the master cylinder in position on the clutch pedal bracket and install the mounting nuts finger tight. Install the clutch pedal pin and clip. Tighten the mounting bolts to the torque. Fill the reservoir with brake fluid conforming to DOT 3 specifications and bleed the clutch system.
