Clutch bleeding: science question

[bell]

wow what a coincidence LOL
today i had to replace the clear hose on my bleeder......mind you this is after 10 years of use, it just split and made a small mess LOL replaced it with a black high pressure line and a few clamps.....no big deal.....
a bit of other advice, next time you go to a junk yard grab a few master cylinder caps for different types of cars, then all you need to do is drill a small hole and add a nipple and the bleeder can be used on just about anything.....

imo moving the pedal when the system is under pressure is a BAD idea, you stand a chance to blow out the seals in the master if you do as it's already under heavy pressure even with the bleed nipple opened.....
i usually use no more than 15lbs of pressure during flushes, it'll drop to about 8lbs after you run 1/2 quart through the system.....

see my above post (#10) as to how to get rid of the small dead spot at the top of the pedal when you're done bleeding the clutch.......

the other advantage to the bleeder is it'll ensure that the master always has enough fluid in it, many times when you flush the old fashioned way you need to keep the master topped off as there are different partitions in it for the front/rear brakes and also the input for the clutch master......

when you get your bleeder try not to store your fluid in it, and give it a spray of brake cleaner when you're done......
1 quart of brake fluid will fill it about halfway which should be plenty to flush your whole system.....
