Default RE: bleeding clutch

ORIGINAL: partsbill
[ol][*]Make sure all hydraulic lines are correctly seated. Make sure all bleed screws are tightened to specification.[*]Tighten to 8 Nm (71 lb-in).
[ul][/ul][/ol][*]Make sure the clutch pedal is in the most upward position.
[ol][/ol][*]Check the fluid level of the brake/clutch reservoir. Fill the reservoir with the specified fluid to the MAX mark.
[ol][/ol][*]Using a suitable bleeder kit and a vacuum pump, install the rubber stopper in the reservoir opening. Make sure the rubber stopper has a tight fit.[*]Alternate method: use a 50 mm (1.96 in) rubber stopper with an 8 mm (0.31 in) pipe inserted through the rubber stopper.
[ul][/ul]
[ol][/ol][*]Holding the rubber stopper in place, operate the vacuum pump to 15-20 inches of vacuum. Hold the vacuum for one minute, then quickly relieve the vacuum. Remove the special tools.
[ol][/ol][*]Check the fluid level of the reservoir. Fill the reservoir with the specified fluid to the MAX mark. Install the reservoir cap.
[ol][/ol][*]Depress and release the clutch pedal 10 to 12 times or until clutch pedal effort is consistent and positive at top of clutch pedal travel.
[ol][/ol][*]Repeat Steps 4 through 6 two additional times or until clutch pedal effort is consistent and positive at top of clutch pedal travel.
[ol][/ol][*]Install the reservoir cap.
[ol][/ol][*]Check the clutch pedal reserve. Test the clutch system for normal operation.

The non tool method is to find a steep hill of at least 45 degrees and point the
stang uphill and with the engine off, pump that clutch pedal slowly. Just a keep
on a pumpin untill you get tired. Or go to the stealership and let them use their
special tools to do it.
