Standard Procedure: Clutch: Notes
- Verify fluid level in brake master cylinder. Top off with DOT 3 brake fluid as necessary. Leave cap off.
- Raise vehicle on hoist.
- Remove bleed port protective cap and install suitable size and length of clear hose (4) to monitor and divert fluid into suitable container.
- Open up the bleed circuit by turning the thumb screw (3) counter clockwise this will start the air purge and fluid fill process.
- Lower vehicle, but only enough to gain access to and fill the brake master cylinder.NOTE: Do not allow clutch master cylinder to run dry while fluid exits bleed port.
- Top off brake master cylinder fluid level while air is purged and fluid drains from bleed port. Continue this until no air bubbles are seen and a solid column of fluid exists.
- Close hydraulic bleed circuit, remove drain hose and replace dust cap on bleed port.
- From driver's seat, actuate clutch pedal 60-100 times.
- Apply parking brake . Start engine and verify clutch operation and pedal feel. If pedal feels fine and clutch operates as designed, stop here. If pedal still feels spongy or clutch does not fully disengage, excessive air is still trapped within the system, most likely at the master cylinder.
- Top off brake master cylinder fluid level with DOT 3 brake fluid as necessary.
