  Q: How do you replace the clutch master cylinder while preventing damage to painted surfaces on Nissan Versa?

  A: Brake fluid will damage paint, so use care not to spill it on painted surfaces. Begin by removing the battery, battery tray, and battery tray brackets. For 2011 and earlier models, take out the air filter housing and the air duct. For 2012 and later models, remove the two IPDM bracket mounting bolts and a single nut to detach the bracket. Next, for 2012 and later models, take off the two nuts attaching the PCM bracket to the vehicle and position the PCM out of the way to access the clutch master cylinder. Working under the instrument panel, disconnect the clutch master cylinder pushrod from the pedal. If possible, siphon the clutch fluid from the reservoir before proceeding. Place rags under the master cylinder to catch any spillage, then remove the pin lock from the end of the clutch fluid pressure hose and disconnect the hose from the master cylinder, immediately plugging or sealing the open ends to prevent fluid from dripping on painted parts. Turn the master cylinder 45 degrees clockwise and remove it. Insert the new master cylinder and turn it 45 degrees counterclockwise to lock it into place. The remainder of the installation is the reverse of removal. Finally, fill the clutch master cylinder reservoir with brake fluid conforming to DOT 3 specifications and bleed the clutch system.
