Clutch Fluid: Service and Repair

ADJUSTMENT

NOTE: Bleed air from oil line with the help of a co-worker.

1) Remove air chamber.





2) Fit one end of a vinyl tube into the air bleeder of operating cylinder and put the other end into a brake fluid container.





3) Slowly depress the clutch pedal and keep it depressed. Then open the air bleeder to discharge air together with the fluid.
Release the air bleeder for 1 or 2 seconds. Next, with the bleeder closed, slowly release the clutch pedal.
4) Repeat these steps until there are no more air bubbles in the vinyl tube.

CAUTION: Cover bleeder with waste cloth when loosening it, to prevent brake fluid from being splashed over surrounding parts.





5) Tighten air bleeder.
Tightening torque: T: 18±3 Nm (1.8±0.3 kg-m, 13.0±2.2 ft. lbs.)
6) After depressing the clutch pedal, make sure that there are no leaks evident in the entire system.
7) After bleeding air from system, ensure that clutch operates properly.
