- Verify fluid level in brake master cylinder, top off brake fluid as necessary.NOTE:
Pre filling a new slave cylinder will reduce bleeding time required.
- Install a length of clear hose to divert fluid into suitable container.
- Push and hold clutch pedal down, open bleeder (1) on slave cylinder (2), allow fluid to bleed out, then close bleeder. Repeat this step several times until no air is observed coming out of the bleeder.
- Remove drain hose and replace dust cap on bleeder and install slave cylinder on transmission.
- Actuate clutch pedal 25 times, then start engine and verify clutch operation and pedal feel.
If pedal feels spongy or clutch does not fully disengage, air is still trapped in the hydraulic circuit and must be bleed again.
