[Spridgets] Observations and impressions for bleeding the 1500 clutch system

[Mark]

A few years ago I discovered a simple little trick to bleed those pesky 
clutch systems.  Empty all of the fluid from the system including the 
master.  Hook up a new pump type oil can with a foot or two of hose that 
fits over the slave bleed nipple.  Fill the oil can with brake fluid and 
pump the fluid up hill to the master.  It will push the air the way it 
wants' to go anyway, up.  It worked for me, one person and one attempt.

Observations and impressions for bleeding the 1500 clutch system



There have been a few threads posted to the forums recently on problems
bleeding the 1500 Midget's Hydraulic clutch system.  Since I just recently 
had
similar issues I thought I would post my observations, impressions and
solutions.

>From my experience the most successful way to bleed the clutch on the 1500
Midget is to have a high fluid flow rate so the air in the system gets 
caught
up with the fluid flow and pulled out along with it.
