Just took X for short jaunt around the neighborhood, and clutch APPEARS to be working fine (I shouldn’t say that because it is bound to come back to bite me).
Reverse bleeding through the slave cylinder, by myself, took about 15 minutes or so (steps 3, 4 and 5 below), after I got everything ready to go (see steps 1 and 2 below).
1. Sucked clutch reservoir dry with turkey baster.
2. Screwed a M8x125 male by 5/16” OD male hose barb fitting into slave bleed port; pushed one end of a couple feet of 5/16” clear tubing onto the hose barb end of fitting and pushed the other end of tubing onto a new plastic condiment bottle containing 2/5 pint of brake/clutch fluid.
3. Held condiment bottle vertically above slave, pushed clutch pedal down with broom handle, and softly squeezed bottle to start fluid flow by gravity.
4. After column of fluid stopped flowing (system was apparently full), I unscrewed aforementioned fitting and quickly screwed in a SB8125 Speed Bleeder.
5. I connected one end of a couple of feet of 1/4” clear tubing to Speed Bleeder and other end to jar partially filled with brake/clutch fluid. I backed Speed Bleeder out 1/4 turn per mfr. instructions and pumped clutch pedal a few times with broom handle. Only a few small air bubbles emerged, then bubbles stopped, so I tightened Speed Bleeder.
That was IT!!!!!
Hope I don’t jinx myself by posting this.
