Clutch bleeding

[cobram at juno.com]

I tried pressure bleeding, suction bleeding, gravity bleeding and could
not get a decent pedal after replacing the master and slave in the
200TQA.  The only thing that worked for me was "backward" bleeding.  
I bought an oil squirter can (those pump types available at any FLAPS),
filled it with brake fluid, put a tube over the spigot on the oil can and
the slave bleeder fitting, quickly pumped about 3/4 of the fluid through
the system.  Removed the tube and let it gravity bleed a little (just in
case there was any air...there wasn't) and bingo, excellent pedal.

As for transferring over the plastic master hose attachment, I guess you
could, but if you crush the old one with a pair of pliers the hose
usually comes right off.  

It's a pretty simple setup, hydraulic wrenches help with the master,
Kroil and a flat brass punch help with the slave.
