Helpful Video for Clutch Bleeding

[i86hotdogs]

Hey folks, wanted to share this video I came across. Was having the exact issues described in the video and followed it to the T. Was able to get my clutch cylinder bled for free* ** in the autozone parking lot.

Hope this video help anyone else like it did for me!

*you will need brake fluid to top off the reservior, I have several bottles in my truck;
**Autozone has a vacuum bleeder tool on their Loan-a-tool program. You will have to pay to loan it, but you get a full refund when you return it

Interesting, makes sense, I'll have to try that next time I have issues...

Hey hotdogs, Thanks for the video. However, you're about 2 days too late. I pulled the whole Master Clutch assembly out to bench bleed. Wish I had not done that! Now I'm stuck trying to get the part that goes through the fire wall back into the metal assembly so I can re-attach the clutch pedal. I feel like such a boob. I can put the Master into the square slot, but never enough to be able to turn it and lock it in. Any advice? Can't imagine what I'm doing wrong. I've poured over videos which make it seem so easy.

From my experience, that's one where you really have to give it the beans when locking it in place. At the same time, there is a risk of damaging either the component or the vehicle. It's a conundrum for sure, I wish you the best
