The hydraulic clutch slave cylinder for the Chevrolet Cruze Hatchback with the part numbers 55563645 or 679078 is a replaceable component in the vehicle's clutch system. This system is responsible for actuating the clutch release bearing, which allows the clutch disc to disengage from the engine's flywheel, thus enabling gear changes and stopping the engine's rotation while the vehicle is in motion.

When replacing the hydraulic clutch slave cylinder, you should follow these general steps:

1. Drain the Clutch Fluid: Before removing the slave cylinder, drain the clutch fluid from the system to reduce hydraulic pressure and prevent any potential damage or spray during the removal process.

2. Remove the Slave Cylinder: This usually involves disconnecting the clutch hoses, removing any bolts that secure the slave cylinder to the pressure plate or transmission, and carefully extracting the cylinder from its mounting location.

3. Install the New Slave Cylinder: Align the new slave cylinder with the mounting points and reconnect the clutch hoses. Ensure that all connections are secure and that the slave cylinder is properly seated.

4. Fill and Bleed the System: After installation, fill the clutch system with the correct type and amount of clutch fluid. Then, perform a bleeding process to remove any air bubbles from the system, which is crucial for proper clutch operation.

5. Check Functionality: Before closing up the vehicle, test the clutch operation to ensure that it engages and disengages smoothly.

It's important to use the correct part numbers and ensure compatibility with your specific Cruze Hatchback model. Using an incorrect part could lead to clutch system issues or damage to the transmission.

To acquire the hydraulic clutch slave cylinder for your Cruze Hatchback with the part numbers 55563645 or 679078, you can source it from local Chevrolet dealerships, authorized GM parts suppliers, or aftermarket parts retailers.

If you're not comfortable performing the repair yourself, it's best to consult a professional mechanic.
