Hi guys,

 

The Z is finally running again. Amongst other things I've pulled out all the overengineered clutch pipework and gone straight from the master to slave cylinder with a stainless hose - assuming this would make bleeding easier. I expected gravity to be enough to get the air out of the system but apparently not. No pressure at all in the system :-(. I guess the master must be full of air (?)

 

I'm now not confident that going straight from master to slave was the right thing to do, although I can't see why not. Can anyone confirm this is ok please?

 

I'm going to try the oil can 'reverse bleed' method if all else fails.

 

Festive Cheers,

Not to worry, I used an oil can to bleed it in reverse and all seems to be well.

 

Cheers

i used a one man bleed kit and worked a treat when i did mines.

 

dan.:tongue_smilie:

I have used a 12volt windscreen washer pump to back bleed clutches on commercials from the slave up to the reservoir for years, pumps dont las too long but they usually work a treat.

 

Cheers John
