[DeTomaso] Bleeding the clutch line

[B Hower]

Just a note: Make sure the slave bleed valve is at the highest point possible.

You open the bleed valve as the person starts to press the pedal down.
Before they let it up you close the valve.
When I do it I say "Press down" then "Let up" to the person at the appropriate times so there can be no messups.

Don't forget to close the valve prior to allowing pedal to return.

Top off the cylinder.

Pump the pedal several times,

hold it down.

Open the bleed screw, let it squirt.

refill the cylinder.

Do it all over again until the pedal is firm and stops where you think
it should.

If you let the cylinder run dry and air into the system,
you have to start over.

One wheel at a time.

Have fun, have rags standing by.

Never use a Styrofoam cup.

Don't ask.
