Hydraulic Clutch Bleeding
Posted: Sat Jun 04, 2005 6:50 pm
Hi folks,
I seem to be having trouble bleeding the hydraulic clutch (from a '68 Midget) on our Minor.
It bleeds ok i.e. no bubbles coming through, but I just can't get any feeling on the pedal unless I pump it a couple of times. Then, when pumped, it works fine until you next need to use it i.e. next time you change gear!!
It has a new remote reservoir and pipe, a new slave cylinder and a fairly recent flexible hose between the master and slave cylinder.
Any thoughts on how to do it "properly" would be appreciated as I have followed any and all procedures I can think of and am slowly going mad
Cheers
