Suitable for bleeding hydraulic clutch systems also:
For older (classic) cars and for bleeding hydraulic clutch systems it is recommended to
drop the spare tyre pressure to
10psi
.
The instructions below apply when bleeding the hydraulic system which operates the
clutch. However, since there is usually one bleed valve located on the slave cylinder, it
is only necessary to release this to bleed out the air after fitting it to the master reservoir.
Should the level of fluid in the pressure vessel approach the line marked near the bottom
at any time, disconnect the airline from the road wheel and refill the vessel with clean
fluid. Reconnect the airline and carry on with the procedure. The vessel should be kept as
vertical as possible.
Finally, release the pressure from the device by removing the connector from the spare
tyre BEFORE removing the cap from the reservoir. Remember to replace the original cap
back on to the reservoir.
When finished, always clean the pressure vessel bottle (A), the bottle cap assembly (B)
and the bleed valve hose (C) with brake cleaning fluid or similar (old brake fluid will attack
the rubber seals). Then dry off and store in a dry place.
Divided / Dual Line Systems:
Tandem Master Cylinders:
Some systems require that both lines be bled simultaneously (usually one front and
one rear wheel). In this case open both nipples and control the flow by connecting/
disconnecting the tyre connector.
Tandem Reservoirs and Slave Servo:
Consult the manufacturers’ manual to determine which reservoir feeds the master cylinder
and which the slave servo.
Vacuum Servo:
Exhaust the servo before connecting the device by repeated application of the brakes
without the engine running, unless otherwise advised by the vehicle manufacturer.
