[DeTomaso] Throw-Out Bearing Incorrectly Installed?

[Dan Courtney]

Gudman,

So you are pumping the air from the rear through the front?
I've never tried that.
I got rid of all the air bubbles the first time with just a girl pushing the 
clutch pedal 100 times with high heels, which is probably more fun but less 
effective than your method.
I'll try it.

Hi. One good way of getting red of the air is to siply use one of these hand 
pump thing you use for chekin battery fluid.If you have one of those se if 
you can fit it to the bleeder on the slavecylinder. Fill it with brake fluid 
and pump until you have new fluid in the resovar.The air shuld be al gone by 
than.

Best regards    Gudmund Froiland
