    Clutch adjustment woes

    Thanks guys, got a little angry so I walked away for a bit ( learned a long time ago from my father "just step back for a minute and when you return it will go back together very easy" Wish he were still here. So I went to help a friend with his fuel filters and measured his and it was @ 3.25...

    bleeding master cyl

    I have a pressure bleeder I made, in other posts I read to only pump the brakes a little, just to let the air escape thru bubbles rising to the cap. I think it would be better to bleed thru a bleeder at the rear of the MC chamber. I will look at an old master to see if the plug at the...

    No Retainer?!?!

    I have the same condition. Seal came out no problem, but how far do you seat the new seal into the housing ? from the way I measured the seal can go another 1/8 .
