what is up guys we have a 2003 Ford
Ranger 4-cylinder with a 5-speed manual
in it and it has a very very soft clutch
pedal now the clutch pedal is so soft I
can barely get into gear oh I'm gonna
show you where the master cylinder is
watch this door that's where your master
cylinder is for your clutch now I have a
disconnected and I did pull it out
because it's really the only way you can
believe it now here's the explanation
put your fender liner out very simple
about five bolts now as other videos
will show you this is mounted sorry
this is mounted uphill you can get it in
them of course see you awkward but this
is gonna melt it uphill so what do you
say you have an input line in an output
line and when this master cylinder is
angled up no matter how much you believe
this you're gonna be circulating the air
the top of your master cylinder and it's
a bad design from Ford just the way this
was actually located not so much this
under itself but the way it's located so
you're gonna get an air pocket in the
top of your cylinder the top throw to
make a very very soft clutch pedal and
possibly not even a functioning clutch
pedal so the first thing you do when you
start this project go into the trunk
pull the jack pull your service plug
right there and check your slave
cylinder if it's soaking what you've a
blown-out slave cylinder okay
the truck had a dry dry slave cylinder I
knew that wasn't the problem this truck
also is 110,000 miles grant that we knew
we could definitely get air in the
system from old fluid when you pull this
apart there's a snap ring
focus right there use your favorite snap
ring pliers you cannot use this inside
the truck there's simply not enough room
I tried it with the 90s still not enough
room and when you do pull it and get the
plunger out you're dumping a ton of
fluid you don't want to dump it inside
the truck so I still recommend pulling
this out when you do pull it out you're
gonna want to have this cylinder so
there we go just like it's in the truck
just like this you want it uphill and
the gravity pressure coming down this
line right here just a gravity bleed
make sure you're all the way full in
your slave cylinder oh you can't see it
make sure it's full of fluid make sure
this is completely full you're gonna
pull your snap ring out and you're gonna
pull your plunger directly out of here
and when you pull it it's gonna be
pulling fluid with it okay and you're
gonna have fluid just you want it to use
out you want you definitely see the old
black fluid come out and see clear fluid
start coming out and don't have it
tilted like this if you have it like
this you're gonna just drain your
reservoir completely within seconds you
want to have an uphill and let gravity
force the air out of this which is now
an open cavity okay let it ooze out and
then when you have a nice good you can
see all the fluid is clear again push it
your your piston back in and then
immediately you should feel the
difference just by hand of pushing the
shaft you should only have a very small
bottle plate so you build pressure
before I could get halfway with
practically no pressure
once it's reinstalled put your snap ring
back in you have to use a small
flat-head to hold the other side you
might need a hand while you try to push
the snap ring in get a helping hand it
just makes it easier and then simply to
reinstall on the truck this end right
here see it's just a quick release
plastic snap ring very easy to install
into your clutch pedal and there you
have it that is your 2003 I believe the
2011 maybe these Forks and chain
at all four-speed manual clutch bleed so
