Hi, I have just replaced the clutch ass and the thrust bearing ass, does anybody know if there is a special way to bleed the clutch?
many thanks Mick.

I think you need to remove the clip on the pipe and pull it back to the stop (hope that makes sense) have a look when it's light :D

I have connected the pipe and want to bleed the clutch - do you just bleed it through with a pipe and bottle? or a pressure bleeder

I personally would pressure bleed it - but there's no bleed screw is there? - I think the fluid (and air) escape when the pipes pulled back to the stop - this is from memory from a conversation I had at the clutch centre - I've not actually had to do it yet - so I hope it helps :D

dont remove the clip fully pull it out a bit and the pipe can be moved back, this opens the way for air to be bled, get someone on the pedal and bleed away 8)
