Clutch Slave Cylinder And Heater Control

Today I replaced the clutch slave cylinder. I knew I had twisted the bleeder screw in half but did not realize just how cruddy the cylinder itself was. And I did take the wire wheel to the rod.

The heater has been improvised from stock which is not best. I installed a shut off for the hotter months in Paducah. Yes, the valve will control water flow downstream of the heater I.L.O. controlling it upstream. It works for me.

To bleed, I use a hose over the bleeder screw and the other end of the hose in a bottle with one inch of fresh fluid. Then work the clutch pedal until no bubbles. Same for brakes.

bleed it then prop the clutch with a stick against the seat to hold the clutch in over night or a couple hours, then open the bleed screw to let out the air, using a clear hose in a jar of brake fluid.
