| do the regular bleed.... - Plug up the line connection port on the new MC. I use one of those plastic bleeder plugs with a sheet metal screw in the fitting that usually goes to short hose that connects back to the reservoir - all comes as part of a bench bleeder kit. - Instead of bench bleeding the MC, put it in holding pan and (slowly) fill reservoir about 1/3 way - then tilt it from side to side and back and forth -- idea is to get the air bubbles to work out. Let rest for a bit and do again - then fill up most of the way and attached the reservoir cap. - Attach MC to car - Remove plastic bleeder kit plug and attach the hydraulic line, tighten nut. With reservoir cap on -- shouldn't get much leakage. Once connected - top off the reservoir if needed... - Have a friend press the clutch pedal all the way down and hold it there. - Crack the nut on the line fitting for just a second or so -- letting some fluid spurt out. Idea is to allow that pressure to blow out any small amount of air at the fitting. - Fully tighten nut and top off reservoir if needed. I've used this techinque on several brake MC's with good luck - never really tried with a clutch MC since I've never had much of an issue bleeding them (less complex than a brake system).
