RE: [Q] - 874KCSQ Clutch pedal

["Duff, Ian" <iduff@charter.com>]

Could be either master or slave cylinder. Replace both while you're at
it, and do a Real Good Job of bleeding it. Use a pressure bleeder.

Pressure bleeders can be built with one of those gas grille cans, with a
bit of hose terminating in a tire fill valve. Fill the tank to about
15psi (more can pop things). Now get a second resevoir cap, drill a hole
in it and put a tire valve stem in it. Remove the core from the valve
stem. Take an *old* turkey baster, suck out as much old fluid as you
can, fill with new, attach the pressure tank, and bleed away. There is a
particular order that is required, someone on the list (or the archives
or a Bentley) will know just what it is. YMMV.
