Just installed the braided clutch line from master cylinder to slave and I'm trying to bleed it.

2 man job, clear tube on bleed nipple on slave cylinder, pumping pedal and opening bleed then closing and releasing pedal and repeating.

Still seem to be getting air and the fork isn't moving much with the pedal pressed am I missing something?

I found it easier to bleed with the slave attached and in the engine bay before fitting, you often find the pin needs a push as the piston is probably slightly seized.

Removed the slave and put the bleed valve at the top, seems to work now if not a bit stiff, but I don't have a seat in at the moment...

No keep the slave attached to the braided clutch hose, but remove the 2 bolts from the slave at the gearbox and feed up to the top of the engine bay, so much easier.

 

If its a TT it will be a bit stiff until the engine is on creating vacuum for the clutch booster

That's what I did, it has a clutch booster?

 

Lol i read it quickly and saw it as a question :biggrin:

Leave all parts fitted where they go, fit your new clutch line. Now take a thumb operated oil can, clean it out of any oil, fill with brake fluid, attach a length of clear silicone hose to the end of the spout, purge the air out right to the end of the silicone tube,attach to bleed nipple on slave cylinder, undo bleed nipple and back bleed fluid up until master cylinder is on max mark. Works perfect every time, clean, only takes one person. :thumbup1:
