In Reply to: Going to try to bleed my clutch tomorrow, couple questions >> posted by mentat on June 21, 2002 at 21:29:57:

: A. What size rubber hose do i need?
1/4 inch inside or less. Get it flexible / soft so yu can force it over th ebleeed nipple easily.

: B. Any specific type of brake fluid that i should use?

I use teh blue German racing stuff, before that I used Valvoline synthetic brake fluid.

: Following directions from the FSM but if anyone has any advice or tips, i'd love to hear them.

I find a stubby wrench works well here (you get a larger swing so yu ca leave the closed part of hte wrench on the bleeder.

Watch your fluid reservoir closely, it drains FAST when you are bleeding.

Make sure you flush out all your old fluid by refilling at least three reservoirs once empty for the first time.

Good luck,
John
