General note:
• The clutch operation system is self-

in such a way that small amounts of air
trapped in the system are removed
automatically.
5. Remove the brake fluid from the brake fluid
reservoir under suction, until the level is at
the MIN mark.
6. Put about 100 ml of brake fluid into the
reservoir of Special Tool 416-D001.
7. NOTE: The reservoir of the special tool must
be below the bleed nipple and the hose
connection of the rising tube must be
installed pointing towards the bleed nipple.
Install the special tool, open the bleed
nipple and use the special tool to pump
about 80 ml of brake fluid into the clutch
system.
• Tighten the bleed nipple to 10 Nm.
• Remove the special tool.
• Bleed the system automatically by
operating the clutch pedal several times
(max. 4 - 5 times), using the full clutch
pedal travel.
