When I flushed my fluid when i replaced my slave cylinder…I left the new slave cylinder line unhooked from the new slave cylinder, and then I hooked up an air compressor to the hole in the bottom of the resouvior and BLEW the old fluid out of the lines. After I was done blowing, I poured some fresh fluid down into the resouvior, and let some of it drip out onto the ground, then re-fastened it to the slave. Pouring the fluid in with it unhooked kinda chases away any micro bubbles. After retightening the line to the slave, I filled the resouvior and bled the hell out of it, until my hand was numb. I had pressure, but I kept bleeding cause I still had a few bubbles. But now I know that there is NO corrosion or dirt in my lines, since I blew them out with air. Corrosion and dirt is a new slave cylinder’s worst enemy. I spent enough $ on the part, I decided I was going to do it the right way. My clutch pedal is rock hard and very consistant.

Try it out. You’ll be happy.
