Hey guys,

 

 

Anybody have some step by step instructions on how to bleed the slave cylinder....I tried bleeding it...but I fucked up big time as I have such little pedal it's stupid.....I just hope it didn't fuck the slave cylinder......

 

Any help is appreciated! thanks a million!

OK..Awesome...thanks for that! Still have questions(and our FSM's say the clutch system can not be bled..so they're useless........now how does filling the slave fill the rest of the system? And how do you know the slave is free of air??? Anybody who's done this have any tips?

it's a wicked PITFA to do, since our slaves don't have bleeders. I didn't see it mentioned there, but I'm pretty sure once you install the slave and break those two support tabs that hold the actuator in during install, that's it. can't bleed it again. stupid design.

 

I was lucky and bled it shitty enough the first time so that only one of the tabs broke, the other still held until I could rebleed/install.

Thanks Tony. That post makes it look easy! LOL....

 

Well I got lucky the first time with this slave, I was able to save it from Dave's Car, so if I do need to buy another it's not the end of the world, as I was expecting to do that anyways......I'm hoping I didn't bleed it well enough either and the tabs didn't break.....

 

Hopefully I can get this done tomorrow night as I REALLY REALLY want to drive this car!!!
