Sorry guys (mods!), I don't mean to post in multiple forums, but I'm doing a brake fluid change tomorrow, and I haven't gotten any response in the tires and brakes forum. Please grant me a little leeway. Thanks!

Can someone please either explain really lucidly or show me a picture of exactly where the clutch fluid bleeder valve is? From what I understand it's on the clutch slave cylinder, but I have absolutely no idea where this is located. Can someone please tell me? This is for a 2003 MCS.

THANKS!

The bleed valve is on the clutch slave cylinder. You can find that on the lower forward part of the transmission, behind the radiator. You have to remove the plastic belly pan or 'skid plate' to see it. There is a greenish colored metal line attaching to it, and the screw should be next to the line with a rubber cap on it.

Wow. That was easy enough! :smile: Thanks, Greatbear.

(Dear mods, please feel free to move this to beneath the bonnet, if you please!)
