clutch bleeding

[kieron]

Hi, I have a problem with my clutch in that the reservoir keeps draining slowly. Then all of a sudden seems to empty. There is never any puddles under the car but the area of the under body just around and behind the gearbox is usually a bit wet. Anyway i think i need to change the slave cylinder.

My question though is how are you supposed to bleed the clutch? I think i remember reading somewhere that it is self bleeding, and in the past when trying to bleed with someone pumping the pedal i never seem to get anywhere then all of a sudden it works fine. Strange.

So how do you do it? Is it self bleeding?

Thanks
Kieron

Beg, borrow or buy an EeziBleed kit.
Job's a good 'un.

is it just a case of pumping the pedal though?

Don't need to with EeziBleed, it's a one-man job. The fluid is forced through the system. I've used them for years, wouldn't be without it new.

ah, i see so the self bleeding is a myth.
