help clutch bleeding
Discussion
ok here my report:
the original turbo take cylinder has a neat feature so you can take the rubber off and remove the push rod and then fix the cylinder
with a clamp. This way you can test your pedal before you mount the take cylinder in the gear box. I have the optional adapter and GT take cylinder from AB
but wanted to try if the original Porsche cylinder could be used as well.
I am using hydraulic oil, since this is what is used in the TURBO not brake fluid.
I had positioned the take cylinder bleeding nipple at the hightes point possible.
Put the easy bleed on the master cylinder and connected to the tire. Opened the bleed nipple and watching the air bubbles and
hydraulic oil coming out. Refilling tire repeated the process twice then - TEST passed with the clamp on. Now mounting the cylinder
with the push rod, make sure you hit the fork, first time I managed to position the push rod in a way it touched the gear box housing
somewhere, with no clutch function at all. The turbo clutch is somehow heavy and makes it easy to stall the engine, a tribute to the higher clamp
forces of the turbo pressure plate.
The eezi bleed can only be highly recommended, STIG should make this a sticky, since the clutch bleeding can be done in a few minutes
by one man with this cheap tool !!
