Clutch Fluid: Service and Repair





- Fill pressure bleeder tank with brake fluid to upper edge. Remove restrictor sleeve. Connect bleeder.
- Switch on bleeder and open bleeder screw on clutch slave cylinder until escaping fluid is without air bubbles. Operate clutch pedal several times during this step.
- If necessary because of residual air (release travel less than 15 mm), unscrew slave cylinder on clutch housing. Push rod against stop in slave cylinder and release again (bleeder switched off, brake fluid tank not filled to upper edge). This will force the residual air back into the clutch line or master cylinder/ brake fluid tank.

NOTE: Never operate clutch pedal as long as slave cylinder is removed.

- Install slave cylinder again.
- Repeat bleeding procedures.
