Clutch Bleeding...

[Atwell Haines <carbuff@nac.net>]

This weekend I replaced my clutch master cylinder.  Had the devil's own 
time getting it bled.

Got it done thanks to a procedure I had archived a couple years ago!

I purged that last bit of air out of the system by:

1) propping the clutch pedal to the floor overnight.  This allowed the air 
to return to the reservoir.

2) sealing the reservoir vent with a piece of plastic sheet, then pumping 
the pedal 50 times.

Good as new now!
