Dodge 2.2TII Swap
Worked on the clutch system all day trying to bleed: no joy. I was using an air powered vacuum bleeder and was getting a little air, but no flow of brake fluid. I was, however, getting a drip in the drivers floor board. To keep it short, a PO had mangled the original flare nut. It was cut off and a compression splice used in its place. Well, 50 percent of the compression splice. The compression "nut" was left off of one side and simply screwed into the master cylinder. Needless to say, it didn't fit. If fluid can get out, air can get in and no bleeding will be taking place today thank you. How in the world am I going to fix this?
On a side note: The brakes bled wonderfully with the vacuum tool at each corner. I have the WHOA brakes on the front, so each caliper has 4 nipples! Still a breeze and I finished all 4 corners the old fashioned way by pumping the pedal and cracking open the bleed nipple.
