Slave Cylinder Bleeding
NOTE:
Never, under any circumstances, use fluid which has been bled from a system to fill the supply tank as it may be aerated, have too much moisture content or may possibly be contaminated.
NOTE:
Ensure the supply tank is kept full with fluid. Use Delco Supreme No. 11 Brake Fluid or DOT 3 conforming brake fluid.
- Ensure that pedal can travel through its full stroke. Unscrew bleedscrew, at slave cylinder, to allow fluid to be pumped out (half a turn is normally sufficient).
- Push pedal down through full stroke, followed by three short rapid strokes. Allow pedal to return quickly to its stop by removing foot from clutch pedal.
- Repeat procedure until air is dispelled at bleedscrew. Close bleedscrew immediately after last downward stroke of pedal when air bubbles no longer appear.
