  Q: How do you remove and replace the clutch master cylinder on BMW X3?

  A: The clutch master cylinder is fixed on the pedal assembly over the clutch pedal as shown in the figure. First, one has to take off the cap of brake fluid reservoir and then using a clean syringe start to discharge the brake fluid from the reservoir. Open the clutch fluid supply line on the brake fluid reservoir and using a pan, drain any dripping fluids. At the pedal cluster, lower left trim panel under the dashboard has to be released. Then it is necessary to remove the clutch pedal return spring and remove the locking clip in order to release the clutch pedal and master cylinder from the bearing block. In order to set and unset the pin, one must use a stubby screwdriver placing the flat side of the pin upward. Undo the fasteners on the master cylinder; thereafter, unscrew the pressure line locking clip and pull the master cylinder out of service. On hydraulic fluid line connection you need to cover the clutch master cylinder with shop towels when needing to disconnect the hydraulic fluid lines; brake fluid is not only bad for your car's paintwork but will also stain your carpets; always make sure to mop up any spillages. Pull out the supply hose out of the master cylinder without retracting it to the cabin of the car. To get to the clutch switch, you need to take the switch module off of the master cylinder by unlocking the harness connecter applying pressure to the locking button and then pulling it. Lever off switch module with a screwdriver and when reconnecting, the switch should click into place on the master cylinder housing. Last but not the least put brake fluid into the reservoir and bleed the clutch hydraulics using clean fluid.
