Thanks for the video. This method didn't work for me. 1, the oil can leaked a little from a pressure side O ring when pumping the gun. I was definitely building pressure as the trigger handle of the oil can bent a little. 2, the pedal dropped to the floor during the process of attempting this method, no fluid was pumped up the hose/pipe into the reservoir. What did i do wrong? I did undo the bleed nipple a quarter turn. Had to revert back to pressure bleeding via the reservoir, old cloudy fluid sucked out 1st. 😢

If the pedal is to the floor should you prop it up to do this..or doesn’t it matter?

Genius... It also ensures totally fresh (dry) fluid is in the line and not bleeding the 'used' fluid from the reservoir through. Wonder if this same method would work for the braking system (with ABS) too.

thanks

This is exactly what I was searching for. Thank you so much for the video

Simply brillient

This worked in my bmw e36 !! I get my clutch pedal hard as a rock again. I filled the reservoir with new oil, open the slave bleed valve hoping the new oil to get down and some fluid came out but the reservoir level was the same. At this point i had no clutch pedal pressure. I put oil in a seringe and pressed the oil from the slave cilinder to the reservoir like shown in this video and it worked!

Pumps with steel or brass impellers are excellent as well. GRAF pumps are among the best.

cool video .. but even easier when changing either cylinder is once install let the bleeder open on the slave a minute or two until the brake liquid doesnt drip but flow out then close the bleeded and unse a stick to hold the clutch pedal over night and take off the brake fluid cap off . let gravity work over night :)

I tried this, but you really need a solid pump. Depending on your transmission and how loose you have the bleeder screw, you really need to push your pump so you're pumping with more PSI against the pressure of the fluid coming out of the valve. My pump's hoses kept popping out and my $10 pump imploded from how hard I tried pumping.

You've forgotten the flexible hose, which can bite by a marten ....after that you can drive for a while (1200 - 1700) km, you'll not have leaking break fluid on the hose, but it is air in the system! Those leaks ar like a Ventil. If you don't have a new hose you can seal it with Tesa Extreme Repair....do it double ...after them you can bleed the self bleeding system by master cylinder ....the air bubbles will lose over the reservoir ...ready after 15 min....no problem😂 I did it last week in a garage in poland, they sayd I' ve a big problem with the clutch, not with my hose. My own repair was ready after 3 hours and I was back on the road again.

If you use clear tube is much helpful

🎉

Thank you so much for posting this ! Porsche 928 S4 - I was struggling mightily trying to get the mushy out of the clutch for the first 10 minutes of drive while pressure built up. Power bleeder didn’t work at all - 10 minutes with this process - it’s super tight !!

Hector Salamanca is bleeding clutches now

Looks like a stud came out on that air pump valve. How did that get fixed?

Those nuts / bolts came out way too easy....

What’s that oil component on the side next to it

The dumbest cooling systems ever made. Really hate it!

This video is a blessing

R50s you have to pull the battery, ECU and battery tray to access the slave cylinder. All these vids are showing 53s where it's under the car

Can you explain why the bleeder is below the intake line ?

Good morning my boss, I have to thank you, after eight days looking for the video that will really help me fix my car (honda civic 2001) you appear and in two hours I am, thank you very much

🙏 thanks

Not judging anyone but repent for kingdom of heaven is at hand. The Lord Jesus died and was resurrected on the third day for us so that we might have eternal life through believing in him and obedience to him and the word. Accept the lord Jesus as your savior today if you haven’t already have a blessed day. ❤The Lord Jesus is coming back soon be ready 🤍💙🧡💙💜💜✝️💜💚💟💟💜

Thank you.

Sounded better before

Love this video such an awesome demonstration

Would it be equally as effective to pull a vacuum at the reservoir and feed brake fluid into the slave bleeder screw?

😮 this is great

Tried this. Doesnt work. Im on .y second warranty slave the first one blew a seal out while trying to bleed. I drove it to work yesterday now i cant get it into gear

For ease of install, I would install 3 O2 sensors (all but the post O2 sensor on long cat), then before bolting up headers add in EGT because of the 90 degree angle, it will be impossible to install once headers are on the car. After bolting up, you can add that final O2 sensor as it is quite easy to torque down even with headers on. The biggest part is the EGT, it can be very hard to remove on the newer Supersprint headers.

Why does my e39 pedal not have that box behind it and lever goes up into dash somewhere else? How do I install?

Smart ForTwo what? Diesel? Gasoline? What year?

Brilliant 🤩 nice 👍🏼 one good video and info and well presented…. Thank you from England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Wow thank you for this video!! So so useful!!!

Thank you very much, best video.

Im so hopeless.. one day my audi lost clutch pedal. Zero visible leaks. Proceeded to replace my clutch master cyl being it wasnt pumping. My new cm wen the plunger is pumped u can hear it pumping air. My issue has been bleeding from the slave cyl 5 times and clutch pedal is still soft. This video made it soooo dammm simple. Im getting a fluid pump as we speak. Then ill have the pedal depressed. Open the slave and force fluid from the slave upwards to thr clutch master cylinder to the Reservoir and watch them bubbles disappear

Nice- the instruction is appreciated.

I must say I hardly ever leave comments but this is the clearest and easiest way I've seen. Definitely super clear instructions.

Genius!

You said "you'll be almost ready to go". What's next?

I have a 2010 Mini Cooper S convertible and I live on a gravel road. I get copious amount of gravel road dust coming through my passenger air vent, the one closest to the passenger window. Do you have any suggestions for what might be causing that? Side note, I have my windows up and the air is on recirculate. Any help is much appreciated!

Nice, simple, detailed, and short videos are the best. Thank you!

Big thumbs up - a video that clearly keeps giving. Saved me with a VW clutch when all other approaches failed. Thanks!

yes, genius common sense, thank you.

I replaced my E60 545i Primary cylinder, Secondary cylinder and Upgraded to ECS stainless Steel Clutch Line all at once... ( BAD idea as far as "air in the system" goes...)...I Spent hours that day...Went to Autozone to grab an oil can such as this, it was rock solid about 30 minutes later... This was the key, for immediate action and solution. My comment should remove all doubt, if you are in...Thank You for the Video

Will try this had put new whiper on 06 Sentra and it skip while going up

That's the best thing I've ever seen as far as bleeding thank you for the videos very well spoken
