Hello,

Thanks for the pictures. That is the clutch master cylinder that is bad here are instructions on how to replace the unit in the diagrams below. To bleed the system once complete gently pump the clutch pedal down to the floor for about 5 minutes and the system will self bleed. Check out the diagrams (below).
