easy way to adjust a hydro clutch

[RootBreaker]

Ok so i searched first... but i was having a problem after putting the new hose and master on..i had no pedal.... well i gravity blead it (father recommended and he is a mechanic) when i told him that didnt work he laughed and said.. yeah they are a biatch!!!... he said usually that is all you need to do.. he said just pump it up a mess of times, let it sit, pump more and let sit.. keep on doing it..

i figured out an easier way... so in the future.. i will gravity bleed it...
then remove piston from bell... put piston down and bleeder aiming up... and push piston in and out... few times.... then put back in.. I have a GREAT clutch... even moved the truck first time in 2.5 years... got rubber marks in the street and my driveway.... so IT IS ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I used a trick I read in a hot rod magazine to bleed brakes and clutch cylinders...I'm usually alone so bleeding them sucks!...I read by using a length of 3/16" vacuum hose on the bleeder screw nipple ,hooked to a source of manifold vacuum will vacuum bleed them perfectly..you just put the hose on the bleeder with the engine running and open it and it'll suck all the air out..

I made a glass jar with two holes punched in its metal lid to "interupt" the fluid ,so oit wont get sucked into the engine (not that it would hurt anything really anyways!)--by using a short peice of brake line soldered to the lid on one side,and the other long enough to almost touch bottom,and putting just enough brake fluid it it to cover it,you can watch the flow and see if any bubbles remain..clear tubing can be used also,that makes it easier to rell when its fully bled out..
