wideboy Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Not sure if this has been mentioned before but after spending far too long bleeding the bleeding clutch line, a quick tip: If you're having issues building pressure, but are seeing few/if any air bubbles coming out when bleeding using the standard method (5 pumps of clutch, hold pedal down/open/close/leave 5 sec/repeat) then try manually pressing the slave fully in whilst opening the bleed screw briefly. Worth doing a couple of times. I've bled this line a few times now, the standard method has worked fine every other time, but this time I had the entire system dry after changing a few lines and it just refused to build any pressure at all. Was ready to give up and go buy a power bleeder! A few times bleeding while depressing slave and an instant response! I'd go for a few more rounds of the standard bleed after you've done this to ensure no air has gone back into the flex line.

ZMANALEX Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Yes, always wise to give the hydraulic system a prime if the system has run dry. Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
