I've bled this clutch twice: once with a clutch replacement, once when I changed the hydraulic line from the firewall down to the slave cylinder. It helps to understand the theory and follow the factory instructions. You can get hydraulic fluid down to the bleed screw with gravity, vacuum, or a pressure bleeder. I probably used a Motive power bleeder, the cap is the European thread, same as BMW and probably Mercedes, so don't buy the Chevy/GM one. This is actually a German car with Bosch parts. Anyway, once fluid is down to the bleed screw, you still have air in the slave cylinder. To get it out, you compress the air by pushing the clutch pedal, then open the bleed screw and the air rushes out. After a couple cycles, instead of compressing just air, you flex the pressure plate. When you open the bleed screw, the pressure plate pushes more air out. I think you're supposed to repeat five times to get the slave cylinder full of fluid. I had a friend help me the second time and it took just a couple minutes. If you had trouble getting the air out, I suspect you didn't follow the two stages, where in the first stage you fill the hydraulic line and the second stage you use spring pressure to displace air and work fluid past the bleed screw into the slave cylinder.

muchas gracias por el video, ya se lo que le van a hacer al carro

I know this is an older video but a small hand vacuum pump bleeder would make that job easier.

Do you have any video(s) of the clutch replacement on its own? I'm gonna try replace mine, but will only do clutch, from the bottom. thank you!

Blowing my clutch (not surprised) on my 2011 Cruze on the Chesapeake bay bridge tunnel, I no the pain.

My Chevrolet Cruze does not select gears it's stuck on gear 5 I drove it without the oil but after pouring the oil it's still stuck what might be the problem ?

for some reason theres no pilot bearing for a cruze thats why the alignment tool doesn't work, i used a impact socket that fit snug and lined it up with that

Bro can u show us how to do ZZP PCV UPGRADE

How long did the entire job take you? The engine removal feels more intimidating, but I like how it doesn't require any dangerous heavy lifting. Last time, we did it on a lift (hoist?) and the subframe took three guys to lower or raise and it was still a struggle. Going from the top just seems a little tedious with all the stuff that needs to be disconnected, but no crazy steps. Also, how does the AC compressor stay where it is? Do you unbolt it from the engine and tie it up somehow? Or did you disconnect the refrigerant lines and not mention having to recharge the AC? I'm considering using your clutch replacement method if I end up doing this myself instead of with my mechanic.

Isn't the fat side of the clutch supposed to go on the outside? you changed it backwards

What brand did you put in?

How much will be the cost to do it ?

Did you have any issues with the clutch slave cylinder leaking since yoy didn't replace it after all that work you did?

You are brave. 1st for owning that car to start with. 2nd for replacement of the clutch w/out touching hydraulic parts (asking to do it again soon). 3. Pulling the engine on jack stands at home. 4. Not touching the fly wheel whatsoever. Not a bad video, but I didn't get what I wanted from it. Your probably snowed in from the current storm. Stay warm!

Can we do that on Chevy Cruz 2016 ? I noticed engine is diferent

But, how much would a mechanic charge to do this?

throw out bearing?

I need this done an have no one willing to do it 🤦🏽‍♂️

Lol, "I don't have a hoist, so I'll take the engine out." In America, a hoist is an engine crane, a lift is the contraption used to lift the entire car.

Ok i have a rather annoying problem nobody seems to figure out: 2012 Chevy Cruze just had dual-mass flywheel fail on me so i also replaced the clutch and pressure plate, the instant i got in the car after i noticed it's quite louder than it used to be, it's like i can hear the engine inside the car now, before it was reasonably quiet, i can't pinpoint exactly where the sound is coming from but it seems to be from inside the dashboard, probably somewhere near the firewall. I went through and checked for any visibly missing cover, even got under the car, took it back to the repair shop, they also double-checked that they put everything back... clearly they missed something and won't admit it. Now i'm stuck with a car that's annoyingly loud to drive, i'm trying to figure out what access hole cover they might have forgotten to put back on, i've been driving myself nuts trying to find the source of my troubles...
