Re: Help please with clutch master cylinder
As unbelievable as this may seem to be, I think it's fixed. I reverse bled it and you were right - a whole bunch of bubbles came to the top (aka rosanne barr in a bathtub). Who would have thought a...

Actually I haven't had a chance to play with the car last night - she "requested" I sit and watch a movie with her instead. Can you...

Re: Help please with clutch master cylinder
I tried the "self bleeding" method. I had my son push the pedal in 2 or three inches and hold it. I did see a very very very small spray of bubbles (like pin tips) for the first try. After that...

Re: Help please with clutch master cylinder
Hey Tom,
In my opinion, the MC was 10 times harder to install than the SC - took me 4 hours for the master and about 1 for the slave. I did remove the side panel and battery, but it was a tight...

Re: Replaced Radiator and Thermostat

Re: Replaced Radiator and Thermostat
