How Do I Bleed My Clutch??
 
Hi everyone,
how does one bleed the clutch?
I have searched te forum and found how to top up the fluid level, but for some reason I cannot find instruction on how to bleed the clutch and potentially flush with new fluid?
Cheers :)

there is a bleed nipple ,or connector on the outside of the bell housing, an 8 and 10mm spanner are needed, so I was told ,after that I don't know what to do

There is a bleed nipple on top of the gearbox. Hydraulic pipe goes from back of master cylinder, then drops down into top of gearbox via a rubber seal. Coming out of the seal is a second pipe which ends in a bleed nipple.

You bleed it just like the brakes, except you will need to pull the pedal up at the end of the strokes and take a lot more notice of the level in the master cylinder - its very small and the level goes down rapidly.

You need a 13mm spanner and a 10mm spanner.
Also remove the rubber cap thats fitted inside so when your bleeding it through you can get more fluid in to assist bleeding.
I fitted a new master cylinder at the weekend and drained and flushed all the gunk out of the system amazing how black it had become.
There Eezi bleed kit's that can make it a one man or woman job.

But if you haven't got the modification,talked about in my thread titled " How do I top up clutch master cylinder", how is the cylinder filled ,considering its awkward position?
