Hydraulic System Bleeding
- Clutch hydraulic system must be bled whenever a fluid line has been disconnected or air has entered system. To bleed system, remove bleed screw cap at slave cylinder and attach a hose. Place opposite end in a jar partially filled with brake fluid. Check master cylinder fluid reservoir often during bleeding process and maintain level at 3/4 full.
- Open bleed screw, depress clutch pedal and allow pedal to return slowly. Continue operation until no air bubbles are seen in discharged fluid. Close bleeder screw, remove hose and attach dust cap to bleed screw.
