This is the type of comment from an idiot who can’t tighten a nut himself let alone perform a real procedure on a car–read the comments numb-nut, you’re the ONLY one who didn’t benefit of the 70,000 who have watched it!!
Fucking retarded video, thanks for nothing.
Yes I think the slave nipple has to be open, only way to get the fluid through the system. There’s another guy on youtube who did opposite, got an oil can, put a tube on the end and forced fluid up from the slave, might be a ‘cleaner’ method since any excess fluid simply fills the reservoir–good luck!
Does the bleeding valve on the end of the slave have to be on for this method to work?
Ok, so just buy the pressure plate, throw out bearing and clutch disk, once you have tranny out remove flywheel take to local machine shop and have it turned, sounds like a fun project–good luck!
I am getting help from a cousin. I am just purchasing all the parts and assisting lol. The clutch has been slipping so I guess I will probably replace everything and get it all out the way now. Thanks for the info and advice!
Thanks!– Are you doing it yourself? It depends is clutch slipping? If it’s not slipping I’d wait unless you drive really hard and ride the clutch all day ;-P, also at the least you’ll have to turn the surface of the pressure plate if you replace the clutch disk, and the flywheel, sometimes it’s cheaper to just replace the pressure plate and turn the flywheel. Oh and don’t forget the Throw-out bearing, usually that is replaced also– good luck!
Hey, I am about to have the master cylinder and slave cylinder replaced on my 2003 325i. It as at 107,000 miles and in your opinion, should I just go ahead and replace the clutch too? Also, I read up that if one were to replace the clutch, the pressure plate would also have to be replaced as well. Any input would be great. Awesome vid BTW!
Now 8 mechanics don’t like it!
Cool happy it helped!
Great video man..!
I have an 82 chevy c30… It has a reservoir bolted high on the firewall… Then it has a line running frm that to the clutch master cyl… Then a hard line going frm the master cyl. to the internal slave cyl. built into the bellhousing of a 95 chevy nv4500 5speed tranny… How do I bleed it.. Cant find a bleed screw….
Cool happy it helped!
i had the hardest time in the summer bleeding my clutch, unfortionatly i had to do it again the other day and glad i saw this video i did it myself aswell and couldn’t believe it took soo much pain and stress in the summer!
Hey you’re probably right– they’re losing business!
4 people are mechanics!
Totally made my day. My 325 is 1993 got the clutch pedal stucked at the bottom and couldn´t shift gears of course, when I saw this video I realized that the only thing I need was a syringe and 50 ml of break fluid, so I push the fluid into the clutch hose and totally worked ¡¡¡ thank you so much¡¡¡
I finally got it. MC can be disconnected just by pulling him inside passanger compartment. (it requieres some force because of the rubber seal) then just take 2 wrenches 10 and 11 mm, nut it itself is 11mm, put 10 mm wrench behind the nut so after you disconnect it stays where you need it for reassembly. So it is not neccesary to disconect the hoses beneath the car. Again thanks for your video.
No worries- If I remember you can remove the MC once you disconnect metal line at the junction, see 2:36, then I think you can pull the MC out with the metal line attached. You have to disconnect at that junction to have access to the nut, then you can pull MC forward exposing the connection enough to unscrew with 10mm open end if I remember, or maybe even pull it out completely, good luck!
Hello a thank you for very informative video, i have just one question. I am changing clutch cylinders on my 94 325i and i have a trouble disconnecting the main clutch cylinder from the metal line. There is just no space for my hand even if i removed three relays and two circle connectors near fuse box. So i want to ask, when you say that is neccesary to disconnect metal line and rubber hose, is it because you can than pull MCC with the metal line inside the car and disconnect it there?
Ok who’s the ONE guy that gave this vid thumbs down!???
Cool– glad it worked!!
The seringue method is the sh?&%$& my friend!! It worked like a charm on my car. Took me 5mins and I did it alone!!
Ha yeah I was swearing at full blast, upside down sideways you name it!! Try the syringe– if that doesn’t work try the oil can from under neath, connect a feeder tube to the slave on tranny, and squirt it till it comes out the reservoir, I saw a youtube vid on it– its genius…
nice video…I’m scaring my neighboors too with nice swearing!! I have the same freaking problem with the pressure; nothing at all. I’ll get the seringue and try again. If it works, youre my hero.
Cool glad it helped!
DUDE! This SO worked! It saved my Brother over $300 in an estimate from a local garage to replace his slave cylinder… Cost him under $10 bucks to get his pedal to full attention again. THANKS AGAIN!!

All you gear heads checking out my vid– for alternative bleeding method check out 528im52’s BMW Porsche VW Bleeding vid–havent tried it but looks like a good approach!
Cool dude good job! – happy it helped, thanks for watching!
this video saved my ass!!!!it worked like a charm…the only thing that i would’ve added is to place a reservoir to capture the fluid.
Cool glad it helped– Lucky the master is new– that was a pain in the ass! Thanks for watching!
Excellent DIY . Iam replacing my slave cylinder on my e30., my clutch master is new… Good info !!!
