Bleeding a clutch line???

[VFighteR]

Is the the same way as you would bleed a brake line?

[Fight_fan]

Thats how i did mine mate, n it worked perfectly!

[damo1]

Yeah mate but what i do is gravity bleed to start.

Open the nipple and let the fluid drain right through the line till it comes out the nipple.

Make sure you keep an eye on it and keep the fluid topped up when your doing it so you dont get air back in there.

Then nip up the nipple and a couple bleeds same as the brakes just to make sure and you should be sweet.

This is of course if there is no fluid in there at all?????

Use a syringe

If its not i apologize...........
yes, the same way as you bleed a brake ........ except its the lever on the other side.................

oh n tie ya lever in about halfway overnight n bleed again in the mornin. i dunno why , just thought i should add that.

Yeah so you are putting on new lines!!

So your best to start with the gravity feed first its the same as what i do with my brakes otherwise it takes for ever to pump the fluid through.

Good luck with it mate.

simplest no fuss way is to run a plastic tube from bled screw to master cylinder then pump, top up master cylinder when its starts getting low. Continue to pump untik no air in line then tighten bleed screw and ther you have it.

I was going to say that ^^^ You'll have a 4 foot hose filled with fluid that is going to piss all over your thongs.....:D

[grindella]

yeh was an after thought some thing I dont have to worry about. My hose has a fish tank filter tap at the bleed screw end. But imagined toes covered in brake fluid
