Any hydraulic system works properly if the air is removed from it. Bleeding the hydraulic clutch drive should be carried out every time after removing the connecting pipe, hose and/or the clutch master cylinder, and also in the case when the clutch pedal becomes "soft".
Caution! The fluid used in the hydraulic drive dissolves paint and plastic, so if the fluid gets on the paintwork of the car, wash it with plenty of water.
When removing air, add only clean fluid recommended by the manufacturer.
Recommended fluid: SAE J1703 (DOT3 or DOT4).
1. Loosen the bleeder screw on the clutch release cylinder and attach a hose to it. Place the other end of the hose in a glass container of sufficient capacity.
2. Slowly press the clutch pedal.
3. With the clutch pedal depressed, loosen the bleeder screw and release air from the hydraulic system. Tighten the bleeder screw and release the clutch pedal.
4. Add the required grade of liquid to the tank to the normal level.
Caution! Rapidly pressing the clutch pedal again in the B-C area may cause the push rod to come out of the clutch cylinder housing during bleeding. Press the clutch pedal only after it has returned to the upper position (A).
