Clutch/Brake problems

Rabin used the same advice given in HAYNES manuals....How did you bleed
the system? If it wasn't "back bled" using the left front caliper, then I
would bleed it again with that method....
Again several members missed or prefers to ignore the advice given in the
previous discussions we have had on hydraulic systems.
IF THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH A HYDRAULIC SYSTEM (BRAKES) DON'T OPEN IT FOR
ANY REASON.
Now there is a trick to hydraulic clutch systems. Get a pan and open the
slave bleeder valve, let drain dry. On the brake reservoir, after clutch
drains you will note the reservoir is down to clutch supply line, DO NOT REFILL.
NOW for the trick, get a clean, pump style oiler, and a piece of hose that fits
the bleeder, use an 8 mm box wrench, place the wrench where you can open and
close the bleeder without removing the hose, fill the can with brake fluid,
open valve and start pumping until the fluid raises above the add mark, (not
full) close valve, stop, and allow the air bubbles to stop. The process is called
reverse bleeding, otherwise you would be working against the clutch springs
and would NEVER get all the air out.
Now tighten bleeder and remove hose, refill brake reservoir.
Good luck
