Procedure for bleeding the clutch
You may have noticed in the above picture is an obvious case of "photo shopping", well as you and me do not have access to the proper bleeding kit, a suitable one man brake/clutch bleeding kit would suffice...so
- First follow the instructions with your bleeder kit, it usually almost always says to make sure the container is maintained at all times with a suitable level of brake fluid.
- Then open bleeder screw on the 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.
