MAXIMUS Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Hey guys. I just finished installing my m/c ,and slave (T-56). I put a bleeder valve on it. How long do I have to pump and bleed ,before I get full hydralic pressure? I've been at it for a bit,no pressure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimszx Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 The clutch is not like your brake system in that your pedal doesn't get firm. When it appears that you are only getting fluid while bleeding, check to see that the rod between the slave cylinder and the clutch fork is actuating and you should be done.

pparaska Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 When I bleed my McLeod hydraulic throw-out bearing, I have to just about REMOVE the bleed fitting and let it gravity bleed the air out a bit. Keep a close watch on the level in the master, as it will flow quickly through the lines and bearing hydraulics, and empty the cylinder and introduce more air there if you aren't careful. Once you get a good stream of fluid coming out of the bleeder line (with the bleeder removed), install it quickly, screw it in most of the way and bleed as normal. Again, gravity bleeding only at this point may be the best option, but a stroke or two at first to speed it along might be a good idea. Gravity bleeding means just let Gravity do the work. Less air is introduced into the fluid by cavitation and leaks in the MC, but this is really an issue more with brakes than a clutch system, IMO.
