Good work. You could also get a glycerin syringe from a medical/surgical supplies store. Better suction and higher capacity. I have 80/100 ml ones I use for removing excess engine oil after a service sometimes.

yes, there is definite advantage of removing the old brake fluid first from the reservoir itself rather than extracting old fluid from the lines. This way 3/4 of your job is already done, as only 1/4 remaining oil is in the lines.

Hi Team,

I use a 2014 Petrol Sail UVA 32k on odometer, this is a
Pre-owned certified car, I have been using it for little over a year


Till now it has been a great experience owning the car,
The car has been parked for 5 days after serving and
During the servicing mechanic head checked the clutch wire which he found to be ok


Now today when I took the car out for spin realised the
Clutch has become very very hard, it was so hard that after driving for
about 15 minutes that legs muscle started hurting badly

While I will have to take the car to a mechanic, can experts here please suggest, what could be the possible suspects for a clutch becoming hard suddenly

Edit: Quick update - hardness of the clutch is gone by it's own

What left to change to make it light? I have compared with other Accent and it does feel hard.

Update after 8 years. New issue have cropped up with the clutch. In the morning clutch is as soft as a new car but as you drive and engine becomes hot, the clutch would also become hard. The hotter the engine gets, harder the clutch pedal is.

If AC is turned on then clutch pedal would be almost impossible to push. Also when the pedal becomes hard, clutch starts to slip and at time car will not even climb a small slope as the clutch is slipping. in morning its all good, it doesn't slip and clutch is also soft.

I have replaced the clutch fluid twice and issue is still the same.

I figured out the slave cylinder is causing this problem, if we pour water over it and cool it down, clutch will instantly become soft again. What could be the reason for this behavior of slave cylinder? Also I noticed that when the pedal is hard and I open the nut to bleed oil from slave cylinder, no oil would come out. oil comes only when cylinder is cooled down.

You have diagonised the issue correctly. Replace the clutch slave cylinder and it will solve the clutch hardness problem.
