Re: Fluid leak at clutch master cylinder Posted by JustinHiFi [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Fluid leak at clutch master cylinder, WilliamF, Tue, 28 Aug 2001 13:08:51 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
When you replace the line, yes you will have to blead. Rather than hooking up a pressure system to the top of the bottle, I just had a good friend help me. Pressed lightly on the clutch while I opened the nipple. When I opened it, had him press pedel to floor and hold. I close nipple, release pedal, pump 3 times and repeat.
After the first time there was some air left in the line. I could feel this when pressing on the clutch pedal, it would very slowly creep to the floor. After repeating the cycle 3 more times, it was gone. Works great!
As for the brakes, which you will not HAVE to do but I would reccommed it if it's been around 2 years since you last had done it. I just had my friend do the same basic thing. For me the rear brakes were a sinch, since I have ABS, just press pedal, and open nipple. When done, close nipple and release pedal.
