Thanks leathermang.

I have read a lot of different methods and have not been able to get a clear answer on what is the best and why. I do know that I followed the method of one person who said that it worked for them. That is why I am a bit confused right now.

Perhaps I will have to try the other method, the FSM method involving the bleeder on the break caliper - but I have heard mixed results on it.

Does anyone know of a way to tell if bleeding has happened correctly? (other than that the clutch works again )
