<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">I am installing a remote clutch bleeder of the type that’s been discussed on this list from time to time. (Comes up from underneath with a bracket that goes under one of the gearbox bolts).</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">So, I thought I’d replace the clutch pipe and rebuild the slave cylinder at the same time. (Wise?) precautions….certainly, these things are at least 25 years old.</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">The bleed nipple was solid to the cylinder body as was the pipe and neither would twitch until I had the assembly in a big vice.</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">The interior of the cylinder was filled with some dried out but slightly greasy flakey nastiness. God knows what.</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">I need to undo the so-called <span style="text-decoration: underline;">“nut for hose”, item 18 in the attached</span>. Does anyone know it’s size? </span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Thanks,</span></p>
