How do you bleed the master clutch cylinder on a 1991 Trooper?

1. Gather your tools and materials. You will need:

* Box end wrenches

* Clear tubing

* A container to collect the old brake fluid

* Old rags or paper towels

* New brake fluid (DOT 3 or DOT 4)

2. Prepare the master clutch cylinder.

* Remove the rubber cap from the bleeder screw on the master clutch cylinder.

* Attach one end of the clear tubing to the bleeder screw and the other end to the container to collect the old brake fluid.

3. Have a helper press the clutch pedal all the way down and hold it there.

4. Open the bleeder screw.

* You will see old brake fluid come out of the bleeder screw and into the container.

* Close the bleeder screw after a few seconds to prevent air from getting into the master clutch cylinder.

* Repeat steps 2-4 until the old brake fluid is completely replaced with new brake fluid.

* Make sure to keep an eye on the fluid level in the master clutch cylinder and add more fluid as needed.

5. Test the clutch pedal.

* Press the clutch pedal all the way down and release it.

* The clutch pedal should feel firm and should not go all the way to the floor.

* If the clutch pedal feels spongy or goes all the way to the floor, you may need to bleed the clutch system again.
