Bench bleed? I'm looking into how to bench bleed my clutch master cylinder. I don't have a slave cylinder to connect to it. is there another way to do this without the slave cylinder connect line?
Thanks.
Thanks.
What I did was left my line that plugs into the slave cylinder attatched to the master, Then I took a bottle of brake fluid, cut the top off, I then inserted a small screwdriver into the end of the fluid line (pushing that little plate in the end open), I then submerged it into the bottle.. Once in I made sure that it never came out while I pushed the master cylinder in and out adding fluid to the reservoir when low until I seen that it was constantly pumping fluid. Just my way sure there are others.
Do yourself a favor and do NOT bench bleed. NO NEED.
Simply install the Clutch master and get all the hardware connected. Gravity Bleed the system, NO pumping, and I have done over a dozen this way. Just need the front end on jack stands and as long as you have a helper you can get it perfectly bled everytime.
