you could also try using a turkey basting syringe
Only works if the small hole at the bottom of the master cylinder is easily accessible. Mine has the hole at a right angle at the bottom in a small recess. Impossible to get to. Otherwise this would work perfect.
Thank you for the great idea. I have an odd shaped reservoir, and can't get a vacuum tip to the bottom. So I made a plug for the top of the reservoir with a vacuum fitting. Will this work just as well? It seems that I should lower the fluid level a little, so the vacuum is only sucking air. Should I instead keep the reservoir full when pulling the vacuum, so that the end of the plug is submerged in fluid?
Can you press the clutch in while it has 20psi of vacuum..will it cause damage
This is the way I set mine up after changing the master cylinder but I feel I need to bleed it more cool way of doing it
Great bit of kit, Frank
I suspect something like this on my A5. Clutch was not returning, and garage said it had a decent amount of air when they bled it with a "power bleeder". but, a couple of weeks has passed and the it has stuck half way just a couple times. only takes a nudge to make it return but i suspect it will get worse. It seems like a leak somewhere is creating air in the system. does this sound likely?
Even on the e36, this is a pain in the backside, without the right tool. Regards, Nico.
From where can I buy these tool?
This video is gold😊
Wow, like another of your followers, I was perplexed and at the end of my tether by the time I watched you video. I have an old Alfa Romeo Giulia Super and I renewed the clutch slave cylinder but none of the standard methods of bleeding worked at all. I had a buddy to press the pedal etc.... but I also have a vacuum gun the same as yours but used in the normal way did not work at all.
This amazing.. you make it look easy.. Thank you for the tips🤩❤️
Worth a try. Thanks.
Love your video !!! Thank you. Been pulling my hair out on the damn master. Can’t wait to try this trick to get air out of top !!! Thanks
I was at the end of my rope and perplexed because this wasn't my first time with this type of hydraulic TOB. I have a SuperCharged Gen V LT4 with a T56 magnum that I was replacing the clutch on. I knew it was a PITA, but was forging ahead anyway. I tried everything, pressure bleeding, vacuum bleeding and even a direct shot with a syringe. Nothing worked, the pedal was limp, no feel whatsoever. I had watched every video on UA-cam except yours, then the light went on. Took me 2 times on top and 2 times on the bottom to finally get the bubbles out and get a decent pedal.
Nice video! My client's own had a similar issue so I bleed the clutch and still to no avail. I've even replaced only the kit inside the upper clutch but the problem of a sponge clutch and no gear still persist.
Hello, thanks for the video. I have Fiat Bravo 2 1.6 multijet 105hp. From 1-2 weeks I have an issue with the clutch - when I am going on first and reverse gear the car is vibrating and annoying rasping sound is heard on the front of the car. Sometimes I am not even able to shift the gears and when I turn off the car and pump the clutch and then the car start shifting and driving off without vibrations. Could it be a problem with the clutch release bearing? Or because of old brake fluid and air in the system? Thanks in advance!
Can you apply this same concept to the brakes as well?
Tiny bubbles in my 🍺
Hope this saves my ass
