2. Bleed the clutch hydraulic system.
- Attach a hose to the bleeder screw and suspend the hose in a container of brake fluid.
- Make sure there is an adequate supply of fluid at the master cylinder, then slowly pump the clutch pedal until no more bubbles appear at the bleeder hose.

- Use only genuine Honda super duty DOT 3 brake fluid or an equivalent DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid.
- Confirm clutch operation, and check for leaking fluid.
