Clutch Fluid: Service and Repair

1. Connect a hose (about 6 mm or 1/4 in. inside diameter) to the slave cylinder bleeder nipple, and place the free end of the hose in a container which is partially filled with brake fluid.
2. Fill the master cylinder reservoir with brake fluid.
3. Open the slave cylinder bleeder nipple half a turn.
4. Fit a cooling system tester to the hydraulic fluid filler opening.
5. Pump once or twice until all air has been purged from the system. As an alternative, use a brake bleeding unit.
6. Shut off the slave cylinder bleeder nipple.
7. Press the clutch pedal and check that no air remains in the system.
