Bleeding hydraulic clutch...new line

[blanc]

Hi All,

I snapped my Hydraulic line clean off at the last HH. I got a new line and am unable to get any pressure at the lever any tips to bleed a hydraulic clutch? I am doing it the same as I normally would with brakes but have no success.

Try winding the adjuster on the clutch perch nearly all the way out. It will allow a lot more air and oil to be bled.... so I 've found.
Cheers Mark

Yep...push from the bottom up! Makes a bit of a mess, but has worked for me in the past!

If all doesn't work, you may need to remove the pressure plate.
I had to do that the get a good bleed...took me a while to figure that one out.
As soon as I pulled the pressure plate....I got an instant solid bleed...and yes back bleed is best.

i've had good luck by simply gravity bleeding the system. you may have to pump the m/c a little to get that trapped air out of the m/c.
