Bleeding can be time consuming.

My son repeatedly pressed the pedal in, whereafter I opened the bleed valve=
=2E

The spring pressure of the clutch makes the slave piston move backwards inc=
luding pushing the liquid and air out of the bleed valve. After many times =
repeating this procedure, the system was fine.

Same procedure for refreshing the liquid every 2 years.

 

Cheers,

Hans

That's new to me.  When doing it solo, I attach a tube to the bleed screw o=
n the slave cylinder, run it into a partially full catch basin and slowly p=
ump the clutch pedal until all the air is pumped out of the system, adding =
fluid as necessary to the master cylinder so it doesn't go dry.   This has =
always worked for me.
