I'm on to bleeding the brakes no dramas but thinking about doing the clutch before going down the plex next ( have to get it ALL the way down to get a clean shift to 3rd which I didn't used to have to do so I think it is getting a bit bubbly )

Can anyone give me the the idiots guide to where the bleed nipples are and if there is anything I need to do differant to the brakes.

I should have expected an immature response like that.

watch out Matt is drunk.

take off your TMIC or FMIC piping above the gearbox. You'll see the clutch slave cylinder under all that. And there will be a bleed nipple on that which looks pretty much the same as a brake caliper bleed nipple.

Cool. Same procedure as the brakes I'm Guessing??

Just reckon with no heat shielding anymore and still crap subaru dot 3 after 18 months it might be suffering a bit.

yer just use a hose and a bucket... also make sure you close the nipple off before reaching the top

i have the subaru tech manual pdf for this procedure, shoot me a pm with your e-mail addy & i'll send it to ya, its a bit more involved to get the last bit of air out (involves removing the cylinder and using a clamp) i changed my clutch hose to a braided s/s one and had to do it this way to get all the air out - total biatch of a job and definately need a mate to help
