Guy's,

Trying to bleed my clutch, but have become a little stuck.

Found the bleed nipple on top of the slave cylinder - but I'm buggered if I can get a spanner in there to open it! Seems to be lots of chassis and gearbox bits in the way!

Am I missing something? or do I need a spanner that's only a couple of inches long???

Cheers

Chris

It shouldnt be that awkward ,I undid mine at the side of the road last week with a standard spanner,I didn't notic much restriction on acess.
A set of Stubby spanners are quite usefull on these cars but get a cheap set youll never get enough leverage on them to break them, unlike full size tools which its worth getting quality items.

Cheers Ken,

Will have another blast at it this morning.
Gonna get another set of axle stands for the rear so I can get underneath properly.

Whao! one set of stubby spanners later and the clutch is bled!

Now just need a new battery!

Had a good poke around underneath and looks like the front of the off-side outrigger is buggered frown and am now tentatively poking other biuts to see how the rest is.

I think you'll find that holes never get smaller, no matter how much you poke... wink
