Caution! Be careful not to spill clutch fluid on painted surfaces. If this happens, wash off the fluid immediately with water.
Note: Do not mix different brands of clutch fluid.
Note: Do not reuse drained clutch fluid.
Any hydraulic system will operate properly if the air is removed from it.
When bleeding, add only clean fluid recommended by the manufacturer. Never reuse fluid that has leaked from the hydraulic clutch release system.
If fluids of different grades are accidentally mixed in the hydraulic system, remove the fluid, flush with clean fluid of the required grade and install new O-rings.
If there are constant fluid leaks from the hydraulic drive or air gets into it, determine the cause and location of the leak and eliminate the damage.
Poorly performed bleeding of the hydraulic drive can cause incorrect diagnostic results and unjustified replacement of parts.
When performing any work on the clutch hydraulic drive, be sure to remove air from the following sections of the hydraulic circuit:
- between the tank and the air bleed nipple;
- between the air bleed nipple and the clutch slave cylinder;
- with increased free pedal travel.
Place the vehicle on a two-post lift.
Remove the engine oil pan guard.
Disconnect the brake fluid level sensor connector from the reservoir.
Remove the brake fluid reservoir cap.
