Just wondering if someone can point me in the direction of a "How To" on force bleeding the AYC myself as I've searched and had no luck other than finding posts mentioning it.

Also is it recommended? I've read loads of people saying you should never do it yourself without the MUTII tool? If so I'll just take it along to Extreme Motorsport and have them do it once I've done the Diff, Gear& Transfer and Clutch fluid myself.

Thanks in Advance for any help

Found some info on it and I'm not sure I'm keen on being under a running car with the wheels moving on axel stands, so probably just take it along to extreme.

Force bleed?? Is this like a normal bleed? Wouldn't it be the same as the front transfer box, ignition on loud pedal all the way down with nipple open and out it comes

Yeah that's what I've read you need to do for a evo IV for the rear AYC, not sure how much I trust myself doing that lol Extreme aren't too badly price anyway

Sometimes things like that are best left to experts if your unsure yourself :)

I was "told" by a reputable trader that just cracking off the bleed nipples and letting it gravity feed does the trick, how true pass, but from a trader I would use

I was also told holding the brake and throttle down fully then switching on ignition runs the pump for a few seconds, again how true, if someone could confirm

Ignition then throttle will activate pump and enable you to bleed transfer box on 7/8/9 but not rear diffs on any model
