Hello Good People,

Went out to the truck and the clutch paddle went to the floor. Not sure if its because of air in the system.

I am thinking about doing a reverse bleed. When I start this process should I leave the clutch paddle to the floor or should it be lifted?

T.I.A.

 

I haven’t done this on a Disco, but bleeding from the bottom, don’t depress the clutch.

 

Thanks for the reply.
Sometimes I struggle with language. So you are saying during the reverse bleeding to leave the clutch paddle in the up position or down position?

Thanks.

 

The up position. No foot on the clutch pedal.

 

Hey Everyone,

Just here to give an update.

I had a pin size hole in the line taking the fluid from the master to the slave.

I ended up using the Motive Power Bleeder.

What a pain in the *** replacing that line. The fitting that goes into the master cylinder has several cross threads so it simply would not screw in.

Eventually the clutch pedal was firm. After starting the truck it got very soft which tells me there must be more air in the line that I will need to get to immediately. I was at least able to now move the truck into the garage. Before this I was doing everything on an incline driveway with large gravel. I took my time but eventually arrived and I was cursing like a *****###ker!

Since I have no helper and using the Motive Bleeder would it be helpful to put something in place that will help the clutch pedal down while I am under the truck opening the bleeder valve?

Thanks

 

I’m not familiar with the Motiv bleeder but if it puts pressure on the reservoir, you don’t need any one to depress the clutch, just go underneath and open the bleeder at the slave.

 

Thanks for the feedback.
Got it all resolved. The pedal was soft but after several dozen pumps it was getting firm. I could see tiny micro bottles in the reservoir.
