[DMCForum] Re: Bleeding Clutch



On a *NORMAL* car bleeding the clutch is the easiest procedure on the
planet -- simply open the bleeder screw and let gravity do the rest.

There's been some recent discussion on the List Re: bleeding DeLo
clutch. Everyone over there wants to use a flat wrench. I find it much
easier with an 8mm deep well socket on a 12"+ extension.

Here's a good question: why in the world did JZD use phillips head
bolts to hold the master cylinder rather than hex heads? There's
enough clearance around the cylinder for a socket on both sides of the
firewall.
