Warning! Brake fluid is highly toxic, flammable and hygroscopic (absorbs moisture from the air) and destroys paintwork. Its effect can be neutralized with a large amount of cold water.
This reservoir is divided into two parts: one for the brake system and the other for the clutch release drive. These systems operate independently of each other.
The clutch release drive is hydraulic and consists of a pedal, master cylinder, pipeline, hose and slave cylinder. The clutch is released by the slave cylinder, which acts directly on the release bearing, unlike other models of cars of the companies "Volkswagen" and "Ford", where the slave cylinder drives the release bearing through a lever (fork).
Fig. 231. Position of the slave cylinder and release bearing on the inner side of the clutch housing
The slave cylinder with the clutch release bearing is located inside the clutch housing (Fig. 231) on the primary shaft of the gearbox. A corrugated dust cover protects the slave cylinder and release bearing from dirt.

The master cylinder 8 (Fig. 232) of the clutch with the reservoir 1 for the brake fluid is located next to the axis of the clutch pedal 4, on the left side, and is connected to the pedal by the pusher rod 6. When the clutch pedal is pressed, the pusher pushes the piston connected to it into the master cylinder. Due to this, pressure is created inside the master cylinder, which is transmitted through the hose to the working cylinder 23 of the clutch.
