Before start bleeding the CL Hyd system, place the bleeder plug pointing upwards to help the bleeding process.


As the master cyl was primed before the installation, it took just one pedal stroke before the fluid level started to change.


However, super dirty black fluid kept coming out from the bleeder even after lots of pedal strokes with self top up container attached to the reservoir.

So, decided to switch to the low pressure bleed method.


Surprised with the amount of debris in the system but finally, clean fluid started to flow and slave cyl is now ready to be installed on the GBox.


However, the area was just very dirty.


The leakage from the slave cyl and the oil mist from the top section created wall of sticky, uncomfortable debris.



In my philosophy, fast cars have to be beautiful and clean.


So, spent another long time cleaning the area…...

Finally, I’m happy to install the Slave cyl in place.


Moving onto the cooling system service.
