Hydraulic clutches have 3 components: Master cylinder (under hood), slave cylinder (under car near the clutch, and connecting hydraulic line. When you depress the clutch you are building pressure in the master cylinder which sends this pressure thru the connecting line to the slave cylinder which then works the actual clutch. To bleed the system you need two people, one proper size wrench (guess 10 mm), hydraulic fluid( brake fluid). One person sits in the car; one person under car with wrench. Start by filling the CLUTCH master cylinder with brake fluid( yes it is the same stuff used for the brakes). Next get under the safely lifted car with your wrench near the clutch slave cylinder. Have assistant pump the clutch to build pressure and after four pumps the person holds it to the floor. You with wrench loosen the bleeder valve on the slave cylinder. Out will come air and old fluid. Now tighten the bleeder valve and have assistant pump up the clutch pedal again and repeat this procedure while KEEPING THE FLUID FULL IN THE MASTER CYLINDER ALWAYS. You keep doing this until pure fluid comes out. Your assistant MUST HOLD THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR WHILE THE BLEEDER IS OPEN or you will introduce air in system.The first item to fail in this system is the slave cylinder; make sure it holds pressure when you are done..1930fcoupe
