2. Place a bleeder tube over the end of the bleeder screw.
3. Submerge the other end of the tube in a jar half-filled with hydraulic (brake) fluid.

4. Depress the clutch pedal fully and allow it to return slowly.
5. Keep repeating Step 4 while watching the hydraulic fluid in the jar. As soon as the air bubbles disappear, close the bleeder screw.

   NOTE: During the bleeding procedure, the reservoir must be kept at least ³⁄₄ full.

6. Remove the tube and refit the rubber cap. Fill the reservoir with hydraulic fluid.
