Tom M Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 Is there a trick to getting to the clutch bleed screw? I removed the shock reservoir & bracket but there still wasn't enough room for my hand to get in there. I had a hell of a time getting the locknut back on the screw that held the reservoir bracket too. No room for my mitts in there. What's the secret? Find a little person? I have two of those ( http://www.v11lemans.com/forums/index.php?showuser=2315 ) but they aren't worth a damn with a wrench... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just get those little fingers in there, say "Hold this real tight" and rotate the kid. They'll be fighting each other to help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomsp Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 remove the shock resevoir and you can squeeze in there -- get speed bleeders for next time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MikeC Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Can't recall how I got my hand in there but I did without removing anything. I know that doesn't help but if I can get my large hand in there anyone can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twhitaker Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 If memory serves me correctly, I removed the rear tire and got to the bleeder that way. Speedbleeder SB1010S for that one and the rear caliper. SB8125L for the fronts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DVH Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Couldn't do with struggling so I just whipped the back wheel out, and whilst I was in there greased the wheel bearings cleaned out the back brake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom M Posted May 16, 2006 Author Share Posted May 16, 2006 Thanks for the suggestions guys. I'll give the rear wheel removal method a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
