370z washer fluid won’t pump through/ Clutch won’t disengage

I was just wondering if anyone could let me know how to get started on replacing it? I know it’s faulty with the pump. Haven’t found any videos on it

Default 370z washer fluid won’t pump through/ Clutch won’t disengage

I was just wondering if anyone could let me know how to get started on replacing it? I know it’s faulty with the pump. Haven’t found any videos on it yet but I assume I remove the wheel and the iner fender to access it. If anyone could give me some information about the correct way to acces it

Also another problem I’ve come across is that my slave cylinder for some reason just randomly goes bad and then works perfectly fine without any problems. Just wondering if anyone else has had a problem where there clutch won’t disengage but when draining the clutch fluid it magically works perfectly fine without a problem

Also just to let everyone know the reason I drained the fluid was because when I checked to see the level it was at the fluid was almost black

I replaced this a few months ago. I removed both passenger side wheel liner and the engine undertray (mine is the older Nismo model with a different shape undertray that gets in the way). Once those are out of the way, simply unplug, remove, replace, then run the pump until water squirts out (may take a little time for the lines to get filled with water)...bulk of the work is jacking up the car and removing the plastic trims.

A tip: you may need to keep the existing/original grommet. The grommet that came with my new pump was a hair too big, I couldn't fit it into the reservoir. Below is what I ordered on Amazon.

Probably your clutch master cylinder that's failing. There's no coming back from a slave cylinder failure.
