SW20 Clutch Master Cylinder - to bench bleed or not ?
Hi All,
just wondering if the SW20 clutch master cylinder needs to be bled.
In many articles on hydraulic systems, it seems many/all master cylinders (clutch and brake) have space where an air bubble can sit, causing the sponge and poor operation. That place is usually at the end of the cylinder beyond the line out.
Youtube clips show how to remove the MC and bench bleed it, but when I look at the SW20 clutch MC, the Line Out to the clutch appears to be at the end, right above the spot where a bubble might sit. Looks to me to be a solution to the this common problem. Does this arrangement nullify the need to ever "bench" bleed?
Opinions please. Thanks
I read another thread here where the solution given was bench bleed the MC, followed by 30mins of line bleeding (traditional 2 man pump the clutch pedal method). If my above hypothesis is correct, then it was the 30 mins of line bleeding that really fixed this other chaps sponge. Yes? No?
cheers all.
