How do you bleed clutch on a 94 accord and how long does it take?

My friend has a 94 honda accord and he has been asking how to get the clutch bled. I am not sure as I have never bled a clutch before nor have i had much dealings with imports. So, any help would be great and also he wants to know how long that would take to do? And, if possible, exactly what tools are needed.How do you bleed clutch on a 94 accord and how long does it take?bleed the same as brakes...need fluid,a rag and a 11mm spanner...simply loosen the bleed nipple on the slave cylnder[on the box] and pump till no air bubbles come out,then tighten the nipple at the same time the clutch peddle is depressed.How do you bleed clutch on a 94 accord and how long does it take?you'll need two people to do this job. One for pressing the clutch and the other for loosening and tightening the bleed nipple. You also need clutch fluid(approved brake fluid for Honda, DOT3 or DOT4),10mm wrench and WD-40 to spray on bleed nipple, 16 yrs old car,rust. Takes about 10 minute to finish the job. I bled the clutch on '95 Civic SI last week. The bleeding procedure is the same as the brakes. Loosen the nipple on slave cylinder while the clutch pedal being depressed by your helper, tighten it and release the clutch, refill the fluid to the max level. repeat the step until no more air coming out of the nipple, only clean and clear fluid. you're done.



The bleed nipple is usally located on the side of tranny where it meets the engine block.
