Just finally finished fitting the new clutch and flywhhel combo and replaced the clutch line to stainless. Can't seem to get all the air out though. I know there are 2 bleed poiunts but the dam thing still won't work. Any tips or advice on how to get the air out or could anything else be wrong.

you got the bleed point on the drivers wing yes?

I bled my clutch hydraulics 3 times about - on the nipple valve on the clutch slave unit undearneath and the nipple under the bonnet on the left. Dont let the clutch pedal come back up with the nipples open as that could such air back in:-

 

1. Open nipple

2. Press clutch pedal - keep it pressed down.

3. Tighten nipple.

4. Let clutch pedal come back up.

 

Repeat lots and lots of times with 2 people and try not to get hydraulic fluid sprayed in your face like i did lol. I tried this bleeding thingy from halfords but that was a waste of time.

 

Sorry if this sounds like how to suck eggs :)

Did my SS braided clutch hose last weekend.

Took ages..but...start with:-

 

Nipple on Clutch master cylinder (Bulkhead)

Nipple on wing near Hicas unit (Drivers side)

Nipple on slave cylinder (On the gearbox)

 

then switch back n forth till all air has gone.

Takes a while to get the fluid back in the system but stick with it..about 30 mins or so :nelson:

I was up at Lukes aka Zcentre on Sunday and he gave me a great tip which should work.Get a hydrolic type oil can and a short piece of nipple size hose.Fit it to end of can spout ,fill can with clutch fluid.Take cap off top up bottle in engine bay.Fit other end of pipe to master cylinder nipple,unscrew nipple and start filling from there whilst a friend watches the level in top up tank.Close nipple and fill can as often as required. as your filling from the bottom up this will get most of air out of system.I will be trying it out on Thursday when I fit new clutch and flywheel and uprated clutch pipe. :bow:

Let the engine run for some time...The oil will get hot too,and much thinner.Will save you lots of time...

Succes,Karel.
