Replaced clutch master/slave, so a full bleed is in order... Pretty nasty
looking stuff at the clutch master... guess I skipped the clutch last time I
bled the system. Was working fine, but I had the parts, and I don't want to
do this again for at least 10 years...

right? I'll check before assembly, but have that big rear hub nut to deal
with first, and whatever joy that entails. This job started out small, and
