Replaced clutch master/slave, so a full bleed is in order... Pretty nasty looking stuff at the clutch master... guess I skipped the clutch last time I bled the system. Was working fine, but I had the parts, and I don't want to do this again for at least 10 years...

I read about that... I believe the springs face up on the inside ends, right? I'll check before assembly, but have that big rear hub nut to deal with first, and whatever joy that entails. This job started out small, and just keeps growing...
