I took my Toyota pickup in for a clutch job and the shop told me they would need to bleed my brakes ($120) ??
I told the guy my brakes are fine. My brakes are completely separate from the clutch system. There is no reason to bleed my brakes.
I told them just put in a new clutch kit and flywheel and replace the slave cylinder! (nothing else without my authorization).
And, leave my brakes alone.
Am I right?
1992 Toyota Pickup Truck
standard 5-speed; ½ ton
4x4; 4 cylinder; 2.4 L; 22re
About 100,000 miles

It appears you clutch master has it's own reservoir and doesn't share anything with the brake master so it appears you are correct. I don't know why they wanted to do that other than maybe just a maintenance fluid flush which would definitely be a good idea with the age of that vehicle..

Thanks Hammer Time.
Thanks for confirming - two completely separate systems; no need to bleed!
I've had thus truck for about 20 years; do my own brake-work and bleed.
If they charge for a bleed after I told the guy "No" - to leave my brakes alone - I will dispute.

You posted your answer twice. The page doesn't refresh when you click on "post" so it seems like it didn't post but it indeed did.
