Hey guys i just bought a 94 del sol dohc vtec. These past few days the clutch has gotten really soft( no pressure from clutch).I went to the shop to ask how much it was going to cost the guy quoted me 70 dollars. I saw how simple this process is on youtube only they werent doing the guide on my specific car. So i refuse to pay that mechanic that much when i can probally do this in less that 20 minutes with some help from others. First I checked the fluid in the resevior and to my surprise it was filled. My next thought is to bleed the slave or master cylinder. But where is the nut i am suppose to loose before pumping the clutch??? I cant find it. Is it on the bottom of the car or is it near the master cylinder?? I see 2 hoses that come out of the master but how am i suppose to loosen that thing.... Thanks for all the help in advance!

 

this is the picture can some one tell me is it the Bolt on the left of the one on the right before i start pumping the clutch?

 

Bleeder is on the slave cylinder (bolted to the transmission)

 

sorry but im confused is the bleeding bolt under the hood or under the car?

 

Under the hood.

 

google 'civic slave cylinder' and click the 'Images' tab. it's that easy. thank the googles

 

the wonderful things you can do with 5 seconds on google

 

bleeding takes 2 persons unless you buy a bleeder kit. one person pumps clutch 10 times, hold it on the last one and you loosen the bolt till it squirts out and close it. pump 10 more times and repeat the process till it squirts out just liquid. I put a disposable cup and filled it with the brake fluid till the valve was covered so it wouldnt suck in any air. after about 4 attempts it stopped squirting air.

 

A One Man Bleeder Tool cost $4 at Harbor Freight Tools (my favorite store).
