Subject:Re: here's a trick you seldom get to use ......bleeding clutch slave

Ditto, Don and Scott!  

  But, I may never get to use it;  I have both a Motive unit and and auto transmission.

  I wonder, if you get a long enough hose, could a person bleed a different vehicle's brake/ clutch systems (using the good vehicle's brake system for pressure)?
  Hmmmm, we may haved stumbled onto something here. It seems to me to be a 'poor man's' version of a power-bleeder!
  I volunteer Scott to give it a try, and report back to us all.............

  Neat trick.

    Power bleeding with a Motive Power bleeder is the better way than a Vacuum
  Bleeder...
    When you are alone, the pressure-style bleeding systems are pretty
  fool-proof.  I used to sometimes bleed brakes a couple of times per day in
  my racecar..So I do have some experience with that stuff.
