Nice job! Posted by Saana88 [Email] (#207) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Saana88) on Sun, 13 Feb 2005 16:26:41 In Reply to: Got that G@#durn Master Cylinder bled! whew!, saabrocket, Sun, 13 Feb 2005 14:16:48 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
BUT... I've noticed the fluid in the clutch circuit gets contaminated very, very quickly compared to the rest of the brake system. It must be the U-shaped fitment for the clutch line and the fact that it doesn't circulate.
When I replaced my brake master cylinder over the summer (which necessitates bleeding four brake lines and the clutch) the fluid was generally beginning to darken but the clutch fluid was as dark as motor oil or chocolate milk.
My verdict: bleed the brake fluid every other year or every two years like the manual suggests, but bleed the clutch annually. You *probably* don't want to change another clutch master anytime soon, from the sound of things.
I agree about the board. Not MasterCard, but still priceless.
