Hey all, if youd like to learn how to bleed your brake system all alone, watch my new video here! In depth and well explained! kzread.info/dash/bejne/l2WGua6GgZisctI.html

Grandad taught me this decades ago. He had a one man auto repair shop, it's how he did all brakes and clutches. Good demonstration. Old school trickery there.

I will be trying this later today. Bless you for this young man. This old lady is following you now.

Thank you Rabid Jz, having just replaced the clutch slave cylinder on my ’73 Series III Landrover I wasn’t particularly looking forward to bleeding the system but I carried on. After much research and a few failed attempts I had just about given up and decided to have a real mechanic do the job when I came across your video - I tried the method you described. In about 15 minutes, with no fuss or bother, I had my clutch pedal working as it should - thank you for taking the time to make the video.

Kudos! This is one of the best videos on youtube on how to bleed a clutch line by yourself properly! Many videos leave out things. Basically, and Simply, you bleed your clutch like you bleed your brakes but it's way faster. Other videos show guys pumping fluid out with a hose that is not going into fluid. Always have your fluid being bleed into fluid. This keeps a closed system and cuts down on major headaches.

For anyone else watching this....I used 1/4" clear tubing from tractor supply found in their plumbing section for $3.99. Worked perfect! Great vid bro!

DOes the tubing fit tight? like create a seal on the bleeder fitting? if it doesn't create a seal, the bleeder will suck air... The hose I had was too big..lol heading into town to get a smaller hose. :)

Right on man. Thank you. I always do my own repairs on my Maxima and sometimes help is hard to find. I dread changing the clutch master and slave cylinder. Your video gave good advice, a new lesson, and inspired me to get this done without the help of another person. Thanks again cheers

Honestly no idea what i was thinking in why the realization just wasnt grasping with my brain until i seen how you had it all laid out that of course this is easy to be able to do yourself honestly the idea of attaching the hose and leaving it set in fluid and releasing the air i think people have been trying to explain that but until i physically seen it in this video i thought everyone was saying to do something diff that made no sense but thank you for showing this it did help slap some common sense and knowledge back in my face today

I just put a splitter into reservoir, one connected to line, the other with bleeder. I learned it works on either end. I put mine near the reservoir, then just pump and open to bleed it, like a brake line, you can even use the hose, and fluid in container to bleed yourself.

Thanks for the help brother.

GENIUS!!! THANK YOU

Thanks Sir! So we should fully open clutch bleeder valve and let it gravity feed through clear hose with old junk fluid to the bottle, and then do clutch work to burp the bubbles? BTW is your bottle vented or it is hermetically closed? Thanks

That’s a really helpful tip bro! Thanks dude! If KZread had a cup for coins I’d throw you some big coins.

with brakes the fluid will just flow with gravity, you don't even need to step on the pedal. There is some debate that without the turbulence created by pushing the pedal air bubbles can cling to the inside if calipers or wheel cylinders but it is an option.

Genial! Lo pruebo ya mismo👍🏼

Thanks for this Very helpful

Awesome! Thanks bro!

Most simplest & easiest way, thank you!

Hey I got a 96 Chevy s10 2.2L with no clutch pressure. I tried bleeding it the traditional way me and a friend he pump the clutch 10x and hold it while I break the bleeder but that didn’t work at all ! My question is do I need to remove the top on the clutch master cylinder while I try your method?

thank you so much for making this, had to replace a master and slave cylinder and if i hadnt come across this video i woulda had to take it to a shop to bleed it smhhhhh

Thanks big guy

I was trying the worst way witch was pumping the clutch holding it open then bleeder then close when I found this an tried I was mad at my self for not finding this but I felt a whole a lot more relief when it shifted perfect

Good job sir

Will it work for a 2012 Chevy Cruze?..I have air and my shifter won't shift into gear..I got a clutch job done and everything new and hooked up right

This worked!

Hi! i just have a question, I replaced the master cylinder for the clutch so my whole system is empty which mean my paddle sinking all the way and doesn’t go back up. So do I do the same process as this until the paddle getting hard again? Thankyou

I've never minded bleeding brakes or a hydraulic clutch as a specific job task, it's relatively simple.

I always love doing this on a very hot and humid day and pedal pressing person cannot hear the commands what they want done by the (CLOWN UNDER THE CAR WITH A MUFFLED VOICE).

Did you bleed the clutch without clutch stopper or leave it on?

Will this method also fix my clutch pedal only coming up halfway from the floor

What tools did you use for this job?

Thanks!

Dude. Id love to have your opinion. Our clutch has been in the shop like six times now. Theyre either screwing us, or its broken. Im not sure which. But tomorrow Im going to do this. And we shall see.

I replaced the clutch master cylinder on a 2010 Jeep Compass and I went to bleeding it like you explained but I'm still having no clutch pedal pressure.

Would this trick work on a Golf 5 too.

That's great! I can also use this to bleed the brakes.

No. The brakes are easier to do. You push the pedal in and open the valve for a moment, let it bleed. Close it back up. Release the pedal and repeat process until you see that the liquid coming out is smooth

just put a new master and slave in my patrol clutch, note you beaut super heavy duty clutches need new hydrolics as well. i will try this tomorrow as its raining now and my car is stuck on the street.

My 89 ford 350 clutch still is tight what I need to do bleed it some more

Thank you for this video. This simple method works great for one person to bleed the clutch or brakes.

To really bleed a clutch system of ALL the air there’s a lot of tricks. Here’s a few I found that helped. Bench bleed the master cylinder on the car. But jack the front end up high as possible to tilt the master.. this can get a lot of the air out. Then I like to do a few press and holds. Crack the slave.. but once you aren’t seeing bubbles don’t stop.. with the pedal held in unbolt the slave and push in the piston while cracking the bleeder.. you’ll get out even more air.. then re attach the slave and do a few more press and holds. Remember clutch system is different then brake. Pumping up the clutch may feel like your building pressure, but your only stirring up the air.. one press and hold per bleed is all you need and pressure in the pedal will not increase much until all air is out and you close the bleeder and pump it up. Last is leaving the bleeder open with a hose and bottle set up and pumping out the air and just adding fluid to master until all air is gone..

The clutch pedal stopper will keep you from smashing the valve and seals in the master cylinder like I did 3 times.

I have this squeak coming from somewhere when I engage the clutch. At times, I can spray so much grease on it that the squeak goes away, but always comes back and hinders the clutch rebound. I can’t find anything on this on KZread or even Jeep threads. I am at such a loss. 2011 sport.

Does a clutch stop make the throwout bearings life longer or job easier because it is using less pressure to do its job?

@RabidJz

2 жыл бұрын

The stop is because of my setup that i described

My clutch pedal is way too light all the way to the floor but travels back to the up position. I suspect the Slave cylinder is busted because the bottom of the transmission where it is located is leaking. But if the slave cylinder is busted how is the clutch pedal returning back to the up position if there is such pressure loss? I will hopefully know tomorrow but I was interested in any input.

Make sure your clutch pedal is properly adjusted. What you're describing sounds as if the pressure plate isn't disengaging all the way

Thanx

what was that imprortant detail you glossed over about installing a clutch stopper so you dont destroy your bearing? Sounds kinda important what are you talking about?

@RabidJz

3 жыл бұрын

Well it's not exactly for the bearing. If you have a shimmed throw out bearing it can increase distance it presses on the pressure plate teeth. If you're shimmed too much and you have a long clutch pedal throw, the bearing can press the feet into the disk or bend them passed their limit, causing lots of damage. My situation, I found where there was a safe area the car can get into gear and when it engages and knocked out 2 inches of travel with the stopper
