Clutch Slave Cylinder: Service and Repair
AIR BLEEDING
The clutch hydraulic system must be bled to remove air introduced whenever a hydraulic line is disconnected.
Note: The fluid in the reserve tank must be maintained at the 3/4 level or higher during air bleeding.
Caution:
(a) Clutch fluid will damage a painted surface. If fluid does get on a painted surface, wipe it off immediately.
(b) Do not mix different brands of clutch fluid.
(c) Do not reuse the clutch fluid which was drained out.
1. Remove the bleeder cap from the clutch release cylinder and attach a vinyl hose to the bleeder plug.
2. Insert the other end of the vinyl hose in a clear container.
3. Slowly pump the clutch pedal several times.
4. While depressing the pedal, loosen the bleeder screw with the SST to let fluid and air escape.
Close the bleeder screw with the SST.
5. Repeat Steps 3 and 4 until no air bubbles are seen in the fluid.
6. Tighten the bleeder screw.
Tightening torque: 5.9-6.9 N.m {60-70 kgf.cm, 53-60 in.lbf}
7. Check for correct clutch operation.
8. Verify that there is no fluid leakage.
