Non-FE Discussion Forum / Re: 1999 Ranger clutch bleeding problem
« Last post by bsprowl on May 22, 2024, 08:42:55 PM »I finally figured out why I couldn’t get the hydraulic clutch system to bleed on my 1999 Ranger.
The reservoir had a rubber insert that I thought was a filter to keep dirt out of the system. I kept the filter filled while I tried to bleed the system. The “filter” was not filter it was a rubber isolator to keep air out away from the fluid. When I removed the “filter” to clean it I found that there was no fluid under it.
As soon as I added oil it saw bubbles coming out of the line. Bleeding the system was easy after that.
