Warning: Use only the recommended brake fluid and do not mix it with other types or brands of brake fluid as this will result in poor clutch performance.
- Unscrew the reservoir cap and check that the brake fluid level in the reservoir is at the max mark. When removing air, monitor the presence of fluid in the reservoir, not allowing its bottom to be exposed, since this will again introduce air into the system.
- Loosen the bleed nipple on the clutch release cylinder and attach a hose to it (Fig. 11.4). Place the other end of the hose in a glass container of sufficient capacity.

- Slowly press the clutch pedal.
- With the clutch pedal depressed, loosen the bleeder screw and release air from the hydraulic system. Tighten the bleeder screw and release the clutch pedal.
- Repeat the operations until the brake fluid comes out without air bubbles.
