I messed with it for a minute or two. Not done yet though. I'm going to pull all the old out and replace. $5.99 a quart for dot 3. It had air in there..

I did my little truck's clutch master with this contraption. Through the little hole in the bottom of the reservoir and it worked but it's the same as using a big syringe I got from a feed store. They have supplies for dogs and their DIY owners. 240 is next but I'm a little disgusted with the whole thing now so no hurry. I will post what happens when I finally do try it again on that car. Maybe I'll do the 280 next for practice? I want to bleed the slave cylinder by itself. There's a video I saw where a mechanic pushes the rod in by hand, all the way in where they usually don't travel. He had a lift though so it looks easy. At 2:22 he talks about bleeding the slave for smoother shifting. Mine feels like I'm almost forcing it and I thought that was just from being an older car.

I put those self bleeders on my 280 in 2011. Can't remember why I didn't use them on the 240 in 2015-2016? I've used a contraption I came up with when I realized the cup wasn't holding the vacuum, too small of an oring wouldn't let it seal. Messing with brake fluid on 54 year old paint freaked me out when I found a small drop by the inspection lid above the brake stuff. I had driped a little refilling the clutch master. Washed that whole fender down with Dawn soap and water. Staying away from the 240, I've done my beater D21 pickup with good results. My shade tree correction for the crappy oring not sealing was a wood clamp.

Yeah I've got neighbors but they leave me alone and I leave them alone. I want to try again before giving up on this vacuum pump. The cup's lid isn't holding vacuum, undersized o-ring that came with it is the problem but buying a single 2" o-ring around here is damn near impossible. I have a plan though.

A little of both. Never really did a good job bleeding the clutch when I did all the work to it years ago. Now I bought this POS Harbor Freight 1 man pump and the weather is finally tolerable enough to get out of the A/C and do some things. The dog can only walk so much, he's getting old.

Should I depress the clutch pedal as a way of opening the slave to pull fluid through with a vacuum pump? I couldn't get anything yesterday but a huge mess, got mad and walked away. I'm not doing something right. Thanks for any help. Cliff

What about the FPR? Good hoses and clamped off tight? Can those be tested? I bought a new one from '78 to work with my diy fuel rail. Needed only one in and my '77 had 2.

I bought walnut shell for less than glass bead at Harbor Freight. Sand is cheap but it's harsh. Best of luck, you're doing great work.

Your work looks great today. Thank you!

You are right, it really does.

Maybe? People use an early 90s Honda blower motor as an upgrade. Google around and you'll find the thread.

Some people are so nit-picky! Weirdos

In a pinch I used a quarter and some tape on the clutch pedal for my '87 D21. That was in 2006, haven't had to touch it since. 😁

Wonder what he replaced that he had to remove that bracket with the oil sender and alarm? New looking wire loom. 🙃
