Long story short, replaced master cylinder and slave cylinder seals and was getting issues bleeding because of the air that was in the system. Even with priming the master cylinder I was not able to bleed the clutch. I knew I had to get a vacuum bleeder. And we all know how easy its to find one of those in Trinidad. Necessity is the mother of invention so after exhausting my search for ideas and searching on the internet I saw most folks used a jar with two tubes, one goes to the vacuum source and the next goes to the bleeder nipple. I had no means of getting these taps to make an airtight connection, did not have long enough aquarium tubing and was a bit hesitant to run back the next tube to the intake manifold for vacuum. After drinking a lucozade I came up with this :-
Lucozade bottle
Silicone
Aquarium 1 way valve
STEPS
1. Attach end of tubing to bleeder valve on the slave cylinder
2. Close the valve on the tubing
3. Unscrew bottle cap
4. Whilst decompressing the bottle, screw on the cap, you will now have a vacuum
5. Open valve , this will pull brake fluid into the bottle, keep an eye on the brake fluid reservoir and top up as necessary
6. Repeat 2-5 till there are no more bubbles in the system.
7. Tighten bleeder screw
8. Test clutch
In about 15 minutes the system was bled. You dont need someone to assist with the pumping of the clutch with this. You can bleed the clutch yourself.
