Clutch Fluid Air BleedingPROCEDURE
NOTE: Bleed air from the oil line with help of a co-worker.
1) Remove the air intake chamber. (Non-turbo model)
2) Remove the intercooler. (Turbo model)
3) Fit one end of a vinyl tube into the air bleeder of the operating cylinder, and put the other end into a brake fluid container.

CAUTION: Cover the bleeder with cloth to prevent brake fluid from being splashed on surrounding parts when loosening the bleeder.
