Your options are explained above. What can we do to help?

regards

 

Did you read my first post in bold with the updated message?

 

bleed it like this for your year - make sure the pedal is up. top off the clutch master cylinder. open the bleeder screw - push the slave cylinder piston in by pushing on the shift fork, close the bleeder screw - release the shift fork - repeat.

i do this by loosening the slave cylinder bleeder screw, push the shift fork, close the bleeder screw finger tight, release the shift fork, repeat - don't let the fluid level drop too low.


btw - who in their right mind would go back to the very original post after all the progress and pics you posted.....? [sm=chairshot.gif]

 

I'll try that and see if it works, thanks your help!

 

As I understand you have a bad clutch MC, and cannot get the tubing nut to release from the MC. There are two options;

1) Cut the tubing line which may require removing the other tubing end from clutch damper unit to splice a new end, or you may be able to splice new tubing endin place, or you may be able to buy the entire tubing line at a salvage yard.Following link discusses splicing brake lines which are same as the steel clutch tubing lines. It just might be enough slack in the tubing line to allow cutting, adding a new nut and reflaring. You may want to consider shop help if this looks to daunting.

2) If you're lucky you may be able to loosen the nut w/ vise grips (one to hold the MC and other to turn stubborn nut) and redress the nut w/ a file. I buggered some tubing nuts on a ABS modulator and was successful in dressing them adequately to use a flare tubing wrench to install the nut.

There's a lesson here. Buy a set of flare tubing wrenches to work on brake or clutch tubing lines. An open-end wrench just won't do the job. However, the location of the clutch MC makes access to w/ a flare tubing wrench nearly impossible. I used an open-end wrench on my daughter's Acura CL, and was lucky the nut was loose.

I hope this helps.

good luck
