Clutch Bleeding

Clutch Bleeding

Original Author: Bill Williams

Mike taught me a way to bleed the clutch system on a five speed that makes things pretty simple.

Get a pump type oil can from your local hardware,dedicate it to brake fluid. Put a section of tubing on it that fits the spout on the oil can and the bleeder screw.

Fill the can with your favorite brake fluid, connect the tubing to the bleeder screw, crack the bleeder screw open and start pumping.

Have an assistant watch your reservoir to let you know when the reservoir is full and no bubbles.

Close the bleeder screw.

Bob's your uncle.

"Back bleeding" is common in the motorcycle & bicycle world. You can buy a "back bleed kit" on Amazon for around $10 which is just a syringe, piece of tubing and an in-line crimp. Works like a charm!

(disregard the metal fitting, that's for a cycle brake)
