Clutch bleeding (2003 Boxster 2.7)

Hi guys,

Need some helps. I did replace my brake fluid with mi Motive Bleeder and I'm now trying to find the clutch bleeding nipple. Look at the att. picture (Red circle) Is this the good one? It look to be on the slave cylinder???

Many thanks to all, that's ther last thing to do before it goes to hibernation...

That looks like it. Pull the little rubber cover off and install drain tube. I believe the bleed nipple requires 11mm wrench. If you know anybody with really long, skinny arms you may want to hire them for this, especially if they have 2 elbows on one arm. The only way I can get to it is to lie on my back with head near the LR wheel and feet sticking out the right side of car in front of RR wheel, at about 45 degree angle to car. It can be done.

... are the instructions: [pedrosgarage.com]

Some cars' bleed nipple are 10 mm while others are 11 mm. In either case it's a tough job because of the position of the valve.

Don't forget to have the clutch pedal depressed while bleeding the clutch slave.

Happy Boxstering,
Pedro
