Clutch bleeding

[airhead]

How is this done? Is it the same as bleeding the brakes? As in, do I need someone to operate the pedal as I open and close the nipple or is there a different procedure? I'm thinking I may just replace all the clutch fluid rather than just remove any air so I know my clutch functions correctly, hence why I'm asking.

Thanks.

be prepared ..all ye who bleed the clutch ...there be dragons!

Make sure the reservoir is topped right up.
undo the slave cylinder bleed nipple, and let the fluid flow out into a container
checking and refilling the reservoir as you let it self bleed.

good luck!

Jeez that sounds complicated! Not sure if I can manage that!

Thanks!

just get to the "undo" bit..and past it, then you can relax.

or otherwise it's the same as the brakes.

From experience I often cannot get by the "Just Undo ..xxx Bolt/nut" on my old van!!!!!

Indeed.. the thinner they are the quicker they snap... bleed nipples are helpfully hollow
