Bleeding - Clutch Master Cylinder
1. Install clutch master cylinder in a vise.
NOTE: When bleeding a dry replacement clutch master cylinder, remove clutch master cylinder-to-clutch slave cylinder tubing from vehicle and
install to new master cylinder.
2. Fill master cylinder reservoir with High Performance DOT 3 Brake Fluid C6AZ-19542-AA or equivalent DOT 3 fluid meeting Ford specification
ESA-M6C25-A.
3. Insert clutch slave cylinder end of tube in a waste container to prevent fluid from leaking.
4. Push the master cylinder push rod all the way in. While holding the push rod in, plug the end of the tube to prevent air from entering the tube and
master cylinder. Perform this step several times until all air has been bled from the clutch master cylinder.
NOTE: Be sure to keep clutch master cylinder reservoir full during this operation to prevent additional air from entering the master cylinder.
5. When all air is expelled from the clutch master cylinder (no bubbles come out of the tube), install the clutch master cylinder and tubing to the
vehicle.
