C5 Clutch Fluid Change...?
Discussion
How do you propose to do the fluid change by any other method than using a syringe? The only other way to do it is if you've got a remote bleeder fitted to your slave cylinder. I took the whole drive train off my Z06 in order to replace the slave cylinder, what a job!
Get your syringe out.
Get your syringe out.
The full monty method is a p.i.t.a. to say the least as the bleed screw is very conveniently located on top of the slave which is only accessable if you have the dexterity of a gorilla with fingers like E.T. crossed with an octopus.
If you can get to the bleed screw (it has a hex head) and can attach the correct spanner you can then drain the fluid out, then you need to do the screw up again and re-fill the fluid and you need an assistant to pump the clutch whilst doing this to get the air out.......I would recommend getting a garage to do a clutch fluid change.....had it changed on the Blue C5 Z06 before it came over and so far the C6 Z06 seems to be okay with regular syringe use.
