    Bleeding the clutch master/slave, the easy way.

    Hey guys,

    First of all, I apologize if this is a repost. Mods feel free to delete if that's the case.


    Video shows how to easily make a tool to bleed the clutch system.

    Wish I found this before I bled mine using the traditional two person, pump method.

    I have been doing it the same way for years. Leave the slave hanging out of the transmission, fill the reservoir with fluid and push the slave rod in multiple times. You will hear the air bubbles squishing around in there. Once the rod gets very difficult to push in, install it, get in the car and feel the pedal - it MAY take a few pumps of the pedal to release any last air.

    This is a one man job with no special tools.

    I have also had success just pumping the pedal a million times, but generally don't do that unless it's necessary.
