Clutch stays down in 87 CGT

[Denis]

Naaaaaa.
I learn it on hard way ;-).

Reverse bleeding is the KEY.
-Loose the bleeder tips on the slave. Clean the inside of the tip (remove it
first)to prevent durt goes to the system.
-plug a rubber hose to it and the other end to a bottle or a little manual
pump( i used rubber and plastic tube from vaccum line)
-Fill  bottle with brake fluide (i used hair color bottle from my girlfriend
;-)
-pump the bottle until the fluide get up  on the brake fluide tank. Or until
you dont see any air come out.

Maybe you ll have to remove some fluide from the tank, cause you ll make a
mess if  the level  goes to hight ;-)

It takes 5 minutes and work at the first time for me.

I fu (*&&/!%$ ..... maybe an hour pumping the clutch pedal to bleed it
without good result.
