Subject:      Pressure Bleeding the Clutch slave/master
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"

Will a mini-vac pump work to bleed air from the clutch hydralic system after replacing master/slave cylinder? The mini-vac in a suction pump for self brake bleeding and the like which is pumped by hand. Or does the system need to be pressure bled with a pressure type pump attacted to the master cylinder reservoir?

If it's the latter any suggestions for a place to get one. Several FLAPS look at me like I'm nuts when I ask and keep trying to sell me a one-man bleeder for $6 (this is basically a cup and a hose).

Best, Jeff 83.5 Westy LA,CA
