Thanks for posting the photo Harold. I have it on my =E2=80=9Cto =
do=E2=80=9D list to find a solution, but it is on about page 53.  It =
will move to the top of the list the day I need it.

I modified an old reservoir cap with misc. spare parts. Looks ugly but =
it seals and I can attach a pump. Picture attached.

I used a pressure bleeder attached to a cap I made. My experience with =
the vacuum systems attached to the slave cylinder nipple is that they =
will pull air through the threads of the nipple when loose so they =
don=E2=80=99t work well in my opinion.

Concerning pressure bleeders: Be forewarned that Motive Products make a =

fit. I tried to work with them about this issue and spoke with a senior =

Fellow Listers,

I need to replace my old discolored brake fluid with new. What technique =
have you used? Did you just drain all the lines and reservoir and then =
refill with new fluid? Then bleeding to get all the air out? Or draining =
the lines to where the reservoir is almost empty and then adding new =
fluid so as to prevent air from getting in the lines? Bleeding the =
clutch slave cylinder is not one of my favorite pastimes.

Thanks in advance for your advice.

Elton
