Notice: DO NOT use fluid which has been bled from a hydraulic clutch system, in order to fill
the clutch master cylinder reservoir, due to the possibility that the fluid may be
aerated, have too much moisture content, or be contaminated and may cause system or
vehicle damage.
- Ensure the reservoir is filled to the fill line with new hydraulic
fluid. Add fluid if required from a clean sealed container. Refer to
Sealers and Lubricants
for correct hydraulic fluid type.
- Stroke the clutch pedal from the up stop to the down stop position
at least 15 times.
- With the pedal in the
down stop position. Open the bleeder valve (1) at the clutch slave
cylinder hydraulic hose fitting to release trapped air.
- Close the bleeder valve (1) and slowly return the clutch
pedal to the up stop position.
- Open the bleeder valve (1) and slowly depress the clutch
pedal from the up stop to the down stop position until fluid escapes through
the bleeder.
- Close the bleeder valve (1).
- Return the clutch pedal to the up stop position.
- Depress the clutch pedal from the up stop to the down stop position.
- Open the bleeder valve (1) and allow fluid with air bubbles
to escape through the bleeder valve.
- Close the bleeder valve (1).
Important: Always make sure that the clutch fluid reservoir remains filled
with new clean hydraulic fluid.
- Repeat steps 7-10 until fluid without air bubbles escapes through the
bleeder valve.
