NOTE

A common reservoir is used for the clutch and brake system fluids.

CAUTION

Clutch fluid will damage painted surfaces. If clutch fluid does get on a painted surface, wipe it off immediately.

1
Remove the fluid from the reservoir by using a suction pump, and fill the reservoir with new fluid of the specified type.
2
Remove the bleeder cap from the clutch release cylinder and attach a vinyl hose to the bleeder plug.
3
Insert the other end of the vinyl hose into a clear container.
4
Working with another person, have the person depress the clutch pedal several times, then hold it down.
5
With the clutch pedal depressed, loosen the bleeder screw by using the SST to let the fluid escape. Close the bleeder screw.
6
Repeat steps 4 and 5 until only clean fluid is seen. Make sure the reservoir is always 3/4 full or more during this procedure.
7
Modify the bleeder screw tightening torque to allow for a torque wrench-SST combination. (Refer to section GI "Torque Formulas".)
8
Tighten the bleeder screw by using the SST.
Tightening torque: 5.9—8.8 N·m {60—90 kgf·cm, 53—78 in·lbf}
9
Fill the reservoir to MAX with new fluid of the specified type.
10
Slowly pump the clutch pedal several times. Verify that there is no fluid leakage.
11
Check operation of the clutch system.
12
Check operation of the brake system.
