Bleeding a 96 XJ Clutch

[89 MJ]

How do you bleed the clutch on an external slave AX-15? My slave cylinder has no bleeder.

Is there not a hex screw on the "top side"?

There is not one on the slave cylinder.

Plastic line, plastic slave with the roll pin in it, correct?  There's no pretty way to do it, just pump the clutch pedal, let it sit for a while, then check fluid level.  If there's a stubborn air bubble you can pull the slave from the bell housing and raise it as much as possible.

I believe it is. Thank you!

Pull the slave out of the bellhousing.  Pop the cap off of the master (make sure you have enough fluid in it), then point the slave downward as far as you can get it.  Use the pushrod inside the slave to slowly pump it 10-20 times (push it all the way in and hold it there a couple seconds, then slowly release it).  This will force any air bubble back up into the master.  The trick is to move slowly but steadily...don't pump it rapidly.  That will just keep creating more air bubbles.  Reinstall the slave and you're all set.

Awesome! Thanks. I will do that.
