Hi all

I am about to replace the flexible clutch hose in my 86 Rangie (need a longer hose after doing body lift) and am wondering if there are any tricks to bleeding the clutch system.

I did a search on a previous thread and some have had issues with bleeding the clutch system.

Thanks for your advice.

Cheers

pressure bleed.

Michael.

How is that done Michael...special tool required??

Cheers

Had the same problem doing the body lift to my Disco.
Instead of replacing the line, undo the bracket bolted to the bell housing and let the bracket hang.
Cheaper and easier than replacing the line!

a cap off a coke bottle fits on the clutch res.drill a small hole in the coke cap and glue in a small rubber hose.fit the other end of hose over a bottle with a tapered end and glue.or go see a vet and get a large siringe to fit to the hose.then just pressure feed the fluid in.its cheep and easy and lasts for ever.

I like the idea of letting the bracket hang....the existing pipe is not very old anyway..

Thanks for all the ideas...

I just ran a piece of clear hose from the blled nipple on the slave up to the master resovoir then just kept on pumping through until the air stopped escaping. You only had to top up until the hose was full and as long as the hose stays submerged in the resovoir there should be no problems. This was by far the easiest way I have ever done it!!
