CLUTCH SYSTEM (for 1WW) BLEEDING

Note

Wash off clutch fluid immediately if it comes in contact with any painted surface.

Tech Tips

If any work is performed on the clutch system or if air in the clutch lines is suspected, bleed air from the clutch hydraulic system.


  1. BLEED CLUTCH LINE


    1. Add brake fluid to keep the level between the MIN and MAX lines of the reservoir while bleeding the brakes.

      Brake fluid
      SAE J1704 or FMVSS No, 116 DOT 4
    2. A01IPX4E02

      *1 Bleeder Plug Cap
      *2 Bleeder Plug

      Remove the bleeder plug cap.

    3. Connect a vinyl tube to the bleeder plug.

    4. Depress the clutch pedal several times, and then loosen the bleeder plug while the pedal is depressed.

    5. When fluid no longer comes out, tighten the bleeder plug, and then release the clutch pedal.

    6. Repeat the previous 2 steps until all the air in the fluid is completely bled.

    7. Tighten the bleeder plug.

      Torque:
      11 N*m  { 112 kgf*cm, 8 ft.*lbf }

    8. Install the bleeder plug cap.

    9. Check that all the air has been bled from the clutch line.

  2. INSPECT BRAKE FLUID LEVEL IN RESERVOIR


    1. A01INQ3

      Check the fluid level.

      If the brake fluid level is lower than the MIN line, check for leaks and inspect the disc brake pads. If necessary, refill the reservoir with brake fluid to the MAX line after repair or replacement.
