How to bleed the clutch slave cylinder after replacement on Baojun 560?

[VincentLee]

There are three methods to bleed the clutch slave cylinder on Baojun 560: 1. Gravity bleeding method. First, fill the brake fluid reservoir completely. The clutch shares the same reservoir with the brake system, typically located near the driver's side dashboard at the junction between the door and windshield. After filling, locate the bleeder screw on the clutch slave cylinder underneath the vehicle. Loosen the screw just enough to allow fluid flow without completely removing it. Observe the fluid flow for air bubbles. Continue until no bubbles emerge for about 3-5 minutes. Tighten the screw and repeatedly depress the clutch pedal until it feels firm. Test drive and repeat if necessary. Important: Maintain adequate brake fluid level in the reservoir to prevent air from re-entering the system. This method is suitable for single-person operation. 2. Two-person bleeding method. The procedure is similar. Fill the brake fluid reservoir completely. One person operates the clutch pedal inside the vehicle while another works at the slave cylinder. The pedal operator should pump the clutch several times and hold it down. Meanwhile, the assistant loosens the bleeder screw with a wrench (caution: avoid fluid spray to the face), then tightens it while the pedal operator releases and repeats pumping. If the pedal doesn't return, use your foot to pull it back up. Repeat until proper clutch operation is achieved. Important: Maintain fluid level by adding brake fluid as needed. 3. Pressure bleeding method. For vehicles with long clutch lines (e.g., buses) where conventional methods are ineffective, apply compressed air to pressurize the brake fluid reservoir (3-5 seconds maximum to avoid emptying the reservoir) while keeping the bleeder screw open. Repeat the process of adding fluid and pressurizing until all air is removed.
