jjonez Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 TL;DR if your stubborn clutch doesn't want to get rid of that last little air bubble, give it a few mega stomps to coerce it. I found an instance where aggression actually is the answer! And no I'm not getting political. A few days ago my clutch master cylinder blew on the way to work and the car was basically undrivable. After a tow to the mechanic and a subsequent tow back home (mechanic wanted $500!!!!!! to fix), I ordered a new part and installed in the dark after work, but couldn't get the system fully bled after an hour of attempts. I could still drive the car with a squishy clutch so I waited until this evening to give it another go, this time reverse-bleeding using a syringe. When a few attempts of that didn't work I was pissed, and took my frustration out on the clutch pedal, giving it about a dozen nuclear powered rage stomps. Clutch works perfect now...

CALPATHY Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 I just replaced my slave clutch cylinder and I thought changing the hose at the same time would be a good idea. Between stomping like a maniac and the partially filled drain bottle connected to the bleed screw I did not need a second person to operate the clutch to bleed it successfully.
