    Bleeding Clutch Hydraulics

    Hi,

    I just replaced my clutch master cylinder, but didn't bench bleed it before installing. I had no clutch pressure before, and still don't - Can I just bleed the system through the slave cylinder? I assume it is doable, but will just take longer. Anyone agree or disagree - I don't really wan't to pull everything back apart again.

    Thanks for your thoughts / ideas.

    Bleed away and you should be good to go. I replaced the clutch master/flex-line/slave in one go and it bled through fine.

    FWIW, the CB brake MC is the better-bleed-it-on-the-bench unit.
