Hydraulic Hose: Service and Repair
Clutch Bleed Procedure - Read Before Attempting Any Service
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO BLEED THE CLUTCH HYDRAULIC UNIT.
According to the manufacturer, the hydraulic system (mater cylinder, actuator, hose) is serviced as a COMPLETE UNIT. It has been filled with fluid
and bled of air at the factory. If the system requires any fluid, check the hydraulic components for leakage. Remove the slave cylinder from the clutch
housing and check for leakage at the piston, a slightly wet surface is normal. If excessive, replace system.
Individual components of the system are not available for service, except the slave cylinder actuator pushrod plastic retainer strap. Do not attempt to
bleed the clutch hydraulic system. The bleed screw located on the clutch hydraulic slave cylinder is used for the factory fluid fill only.
Use only DOT 3 brake fluid. Do not use mineral oil or a paraffin base oil in the hydraulic system as damage to rubber parts will occur. Clean the
cap and sides of reservoir before removing cap, then remove diaphragm. Carefully replace diaphragm and cover after filling.
