Clutch damper delete

think is 1 or wherever the metal clip is, pull it out and remove old hose

 

i'm thinking back to when changed mine dont recall having problem maybe pull first one (your 2) and see if new hose fits, if not pull second one

 

I removed the original from joint 1

 

position 2 clip

 

Let me ask...for what?

 

to delete the woeful clutch damper that weeps fluid for months but you cant see it, deffo not one reno's finest inventions

 

Good to know! So, when I´ll change the brakes lines, maybe would be a good chance to change that line too.

 

Without doubt get rid of it
It’s kinda thing that weeps fluid for months and brake reservoir level goes down so you think it’s your calipers or brake line leaking somewhere, plus clutch feels better after it’s gone

 

What’s the easiest way to bleed the clutch once this is done. Get someone to press the clutch or use one of those hand pump bleeders

 

Shouldn’t need bleed if done correctly

Disconnect the bulkhead end of old line first

Immediately connect the new line but have the other end raised up hi

Now lower the clutch end of new line slowly down towards the bleed valve until fluid starts run out

then disconnect the other end old line

and connect new line with bit fluid still dripping out

this way should be no air in new line, also know that the system is self bleeding over couple hours any air will float up to top of line system and into reservoir and out to air

if want bleed the clutch slave cylinder inside bell housing have someone hand press clutch pedal to floor then open bleed valve

while keeping pedal hard to floor close valve and slowly raise pedal by hand
This will replace old fluid in slave cylinder

 

Cheers. Useful information.
