Subject:Re: what size wrench for bleeding clutch?

I am not sure what wrench size it is, but I can get rebuild kits for
about $28 Canadian.  I was faced with the same problem two months ago,
my cylinder was leaking pretty bad.  The dealer wanted $240 for the
slave, and the cheapest aftermarket I could find was $120.  So I looked
into rebuilding it myself.  THe kit costs $28 plus tax.  It only took me
about 15 minutes to rebuild to.  Just pulled the snap ring off the
bottom, pulled it apart, honed it out, and reassembled with new seals.
Works great!  I just wish I'd taken the time to drill out the older
bleeder that was broken off.  It made for an interesting bleed!  I
pushed the piston up with the line disconnected, then tightened the line
and let go.  I did this about 3 times, and got all the air out.  Next
time I drill!!
