Hello all, I have 04 2500HD 8.1 6 speed.
Clutch finally burnt out last week, so I ordered some new parts I am in the process of replacing said parts.

I have never done something with a clutch before, but didn't really have the spare funds to take it to a shop.


So I got everything apart, and mounted a brand New Fly wheel, clutch and pressure plate. Used the alignment tool and goes in and pretty, much bottoms out the tool.

Question I have is, the kit came with a new Hydraulic Slave Cylinder, its empty no fluid inside the cylinder.

How do I go about Bleeding the system? And should I pre-fill the slave?

I've included a photo below of the style slave.



Appreciate the help, I am afraid I might be in over my head lol....

 

Not done one in 35 years, but if you have ever replaced a wheel cylinder, I'd say it's along the same thing. It should have a bleed valve, and of course supply line. I'd get a cheap bleed kit from auto zone, pump fluid into it with the bleed valve open for 3-4 times till it just comes out fluid, then install it. You might have to bleed it after it is installed, but it won't be as difficult as wheel cylinders.
