How to Replace the Clutch Slave Cylinder on a Haval H6?
2 Answers
The clutch slave cylinder is located below the right side of the engine compartment, in front of the clutch pedal. It is easiest to see when the vehicle is lifted. Simply remove the screws to take it off. During installation, bleeding is necessary. The bleeder screw on the slave cylinder can usually be loosened with an 8~10mm wrench. Have one person press the clutch pedal several times and release, then open the bleeder screw on the slave cylinder. Press the clutch pedal firmly to expel fluid, then tighten the bleeder screw. Repeat this cycle approximately 5~6 times.
Replacing the Haval H6 clutch slave cylinder requires professional methods to ensure safety and reliability. As an experienced mechanic, I would first disconnect the negative terminal of the vehicle battery to prevent short-circuit accidents. Then, use a hydraulic jack to lift the front wheel section and stabilize it with a stand under the jack point to ensure a safe working space. Next, locate the clutch slave cylinder, usually connected to the transmission side from under the engine compartment. Use a 14mm or 17mm socket wrench to loosen the mounting bolts and hydraulic line fittings, carefully removing the old slave cylinder to avoid fluid leakage contaminating components. Before installing the new slave cylinder, clean the mounting surface to ensure it is flat. Tighten the bolts to a torque of approximately 25-30Nm to avoid damaging the threads by over-tightening. Reconnect the hydraulic lines and refill with the recommended clutch fluid, typically DOT4 grade. Use a bleeder pump to manually bleed all air bubbles from the system through the bleeder screw to prevent clutch failure. After completion, check for leaks and test whether the clutch pedal travel is smooth. If unfamiliar with these steps, it is advisable to seek professional support to avoid incorrect operations affecting driving safety. The entire process takes about 1-2 hours, with key tools including a jack, stand, wrench, and fluid container.
