[DML] Re: clutch

["content22207" <brobertson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Make sure pistons in your cylinders have good seals -- you may just be
squishing fluid past them. Also ensure reservoir shutoff in the master
cylinder is working, otherwise you'll just push fluid back into it.

Slave cylinder bleeder screw is 8mm hex. Like all bleeder screws is
soft metal -- use a 6 point socket to turn it, not 12 point. Is best
accessed from above, even on my carbureted dual exhaust setup. You may
have to climb on top of your engine to reach it. A 12" extension
really helps.

I have a 1 man bleeder hose I use for all my hydraulics -- inserted a
ball check valve into it. Allows me to pump away without worrying
about sucking air backwards.

Be careful not to pump the reservoir dry, otherwise you'll introduce
air from the other end.
