To remove air from the hydraulic system, it is necessary to use a special device operating from an external pressure of 2.5 bar (inflated spare wheel chamber). Connect the device to the refill tank in accordance with its instruction manual.
Bleeding consists in draining the fluid through the bleeder valve on the clutch slave cylinder until the escaping fluid comes out free of air bubbles.
Place the vehicle over a viewing ditch or raise it on a lift.
Remove the lower mudguard of the engine compartment.
Put a transparent hose on the bleeder fitting, lower the other end into a glass vessel partially filled with brake fluid (see fig. 5.9).
Unscrew the bleed screw half a turn and pour 100 cm3 of liquid into a glass vessel, at the end of the drain the liquid should come out without air bubbles.
After removing air from the hydraulic clutch system, screw in the bleeder screw, remove the hose from it and remove the tool from the reservoir.
Clean the bleeder valve of brake fluid and install the dust cap on it.
Check the brake fluid level in the reservoir and add brake fluid if necessary.
