reverse clutch bleeding?

coolkrio · Mar 12, 2010

im replacing my master cylinder next week (many tanks to busters guide)
and wondered if its possible to reverse bleed the system by pumping the fluid in from the bleed nipple?
is it not worth the extra hassle, not sure how much of a pig it is to bleed the clutch via the normal method..

I would use a pressure bleeder if you are bleeding a completely dry m/c as the seals will not be lubricated with fluid....

.....but otherwise usual method is good enough. Altho having said that some copper pipes that come out of the m/c on some Defenders that I have seen do loop up a bit high and non-pressure bleeding can struggle to move the air round this bend.

Bit too much lateral thinking going on there mate. Just bleed the clutch in the normal way using an eezibleed type of thing will make it an easy one man job.
