how hard to bleed clutch fluid

Hi. How hard is it to bleed clutch fluid with speed bleeder. Does anyone have a video, or a series of pictures as to where the valve is to speed bleed? I have searched but found none with photos or videos.

Thanks,

Chad

A speed bleeder replaces the stock bleed valve. A speed bleeder had a check valve that only allows fluid to flow one way, so when you press the clutch pedal fluid flows out and air doesn't get in. I use speed bleeders on my calipers and clutch on all my vehices, I love them

Thanks. Does anyone have a youtube video on how to do this. The brakes I can do but the clutch I have no idea where the bleeder valve. I know what is said on the forums, but if anyone has a video it will help.

Thanks,

Chad

It's behind the engine, a bit tricky to get to. Look from the top toward past the dipstick, you'll see it. It's not hard if you have the right size wrenches and tools to get to it. It's hard if you don't.

Thanks. I would still need a video. I did search youtube but found nothing but one, who didn't explain where it was. If anyone has it, or a picture I would appreciate it. Thanks,

Chad

I found this write up. Now I know where the bleeder valve is, where the oil filter is. Is this accurate on how to bleed the clutch? I'll be using a speed bleeder.

Thanks,

Chad

you’d almost think that nobody ever pointed you to the DIY area multiple times now. 🤔
