My Fellow Spridgeteers,
I've not seen this posted yet, but it kind of goes without saying. Need
for an assistant still exists.
Get a piece of rubber hose approximately 18" long to use when bleeding
the clutch or brakes.
Make sure the hose you are using fits --tightly-- over the bleeder
valve. A more flexible hose should be used.
Put the (other) end of the rubber hose in a clear(ish) container with a
couple inches of brake fluid... making certain it IS WELL IN the fluid.
As you bleed the system, you can't miss the air escaping into the
container.
After all the air has been removed (no more bubbles), should the system
"suck" back, all it is getting is fluid.
Making some sort of hanger for the container eliminates having to
holding it by hand, making the bleeding process easier.
Nothing new for most of you, but for those just getting started, hope
this helps.
Good luck
Herb
Keep the sticky side down!
