77 Midget clutch bleed   
Hi all

I am in the process of working on my clutch. I have replaced the 
Master,Slave and flexable pipe from the two
units,but I am having trouble bleeding it can't seem to get all the air out 
and get a full pedal. What is the best way to do so?
Thanks

Re: 77 Midget clutch bleed   
Joe,

When I did the clutch my 76 I had to jack up the rear of the car to insure 
that the bleeder valve was the highest point on the slave cylinder.

Some mechanics will remove the slave cylinder from the bell housing with the 
hydraulic line still attached, rotate the cylinder  so the bleeder is 
pointing straight up, then bleed the system either by a helper very gently 
pressing the pedal or use a hand held brake bleeder vacume pump.
