Bleeding clutch system
Aaagghhhh - I hate hydraulic clutch systems. Only one I ever had to work on was a Toyota PU 25 years ago. I can't get this thing to bleed - looking for ideas.
I first tried bleeding it per the manual - at the slave cylinder bleeder and stroking the pedal linkage arm instead of the clutch pedal. No good. I then got the wife to stroke the pedal while I bleed it at the slave bleeder. No good. I then got out a Phoneix injection bleeder and tried injecting it at the slave bleeder valve into the reservoir. No good. I then reversed the Phoneix and tried vacuum bleeding it at the slave bleeder. No good.
Should I take the push rod out before trying to bleed the slave cylinder? I'm not getting much stroke before taking up the play at the throw out bearing.
Also haven't tried bleeding the clutch master cylinder separately.
Any suggestions?
