Why is the clutch pedal of a van heavy to press?
1 Answers
Here are the specific reasons why the clutch pedal of a van is heavy to press: 1. Dirty hydraulic oil in the clutch master and slave cylinders and pipelines: Or deterioration of the rubber cups and sealing rings, or blockage in the oil lines. Disassemble the clutch master and slave cylinders and pipelines, clean them thoroughly with alcohol, and blow them clean with high-pressure air, especially the pipelines. Replace the rubber cups and rings of the master and slave cylinders, bleed the air, and adjust the clearance according to specifications. 2. Issues with the release bearing: Excessive resistance caused by prolonged use, severe wear, and lack of lubrication. Faults in the pressure plate, clutch pressure plate, or release bearing—these components are wear parts. If they are faulty or severely worn, the clutch may become heavy.
