Bleeding the Clutch

m2 mm 25.04.001
  1. Remove the cap from the bleed valve. Install a transparent drain hose on the bleed valve of the secondary cylinder.
  2. Open the secondary cylinder bleed screw. Observe the flow of clutch hydraulic fluid through the drain hose. When bubbles no longer appear in the fluid, close the secondary cylinder bleed screw.
  3. Disconnect the transparent hose. Tighten the bleed screw 88 lbf·in (1000 N·cm) and install the cap on the secondary cylinder bleed valve.
  4. Close the valve on the bleed tank of the pressure bleed adaptor. Remove the pressure bleed adaptor.
  5. Check the fluid level in the reservoir. If necessary, add or remove clutch hydraulic fluid to bring the fluid level to the MAX line. Install the reservoir lid.

    6. Caution: When removing fluid from the reservoir, use a clean tool that is used only for brake fluid. Using a tool contaminated with oil or chemical residue will destroy hydraulic system parts and cause the system to malfunction.

  6. Depress the clutch pedal a few times. There should be resistance over the full pedal stroke.
  7. Check the entire system for leaks. Tighten the connections between the components if necessary. Check the fluid level in the reservoir again.
  8. Make sure the reservoir lid is tight.
  9. Lower the hood and remove the chocks from the front and rear tires.
