2. Remove the secondary (slave) cylinder (27) and tip the bleeder screw (32) up.
3. Hold the clutch pedal down, open the bleeder screw (32) to let air and fluid escape, and close the bleeder screw (32). Let the clutch pedal up.
4. Repeat step 3 until all air is out of the system.

Note: Check and refill the reservoir as needed while bleeding so that air is not drawn into the system.

5. Install the secondary (slave) cylinder (27) and refill the reservoir if needed.
