Bleeding clutch system

[serf]

Had a slave cylinder go on zetor and it drained the whole system and emptied the reservoir,
When I've replaced the slave what is best method / procedure to get it primed up again without to much grief ,
never had the misfortune of having to do the job before !

Fill the reservoir at the top master cylinder loosen the bleed nipple a couple of turns on the slave cylinder get someone to press the pedal down while you hold your finger gently on the top of the nipple when they raise the pedal hold your finger over the hole to stop it drawing air in and repeat a number of times Eventually you will have fluid coming out with no air. Retighten the nipple while the peddle is depressed so not to draw in any air otherwise you will end up with half a pedal. Make sure you keep the reservoir full while doing it.
Be careful it usually ends up in your eye

There used to be a kit for the slave cylinder but they probably just replace the lot now

Ok if it’s a kit there’s a piston inside there with some seals. The piston will be scored which will have scored the barrel. You will need fine emory cloth to take the scores out of the piston and bore
It’s probably a whole cylinder hopefully
