Re: hyd clutch bleeding

I've had good luck on external slaves by bench bleeding the entire assembly. With the master in a vise I run the line vertically down to the slave cylinder and cycle the slave by hand slowly getting all the air out. Once air bubbles stop coming out the master I extend the slave one last time and let it compress with the bolts as I install it. This pushes any last bit of air up to the reservoir.

This is a simple way and has worked great for me for the slaves that don't have a bleeder.
