How in the heck did you get the plugs changed in 15 minutes? Do you have the hands of a 6 year old girl???  I went at it by working through the wheel well which might have been my downfall...
Also, I went to change the clutch fluid and I can't for the life of me figure out how to get to the bleeder valve with a wrench? On the same note, I didn't notice a second bleeder valve on my calipers but I have seen posts refer to a second set? Is there a second bleeder valve that I should've flushed at the same time?
Help???  |
Hi,
When I have the car raised, I work under it on a creeper and do them in pairs, one on each bank at the same time - 1-4, 5-2, 3-6. This way, I remove both coilpaks, then both plugs, shoot in the oil, insert new plugs and return coilpaks, then move to the next pair, etc. 15 min. start to finish.
The Slave Cylinder bleed is a little challenging. I have a Tip S, but bled the clutch on a friend's '03. I used a Stubby Box wrench (7mm? 8mm?), put it on, then the drain tube. Kept the wrench on the nipple through the process, closed it up, removed the drain tube and pulled the wrench off.
Yes, there are two bleed valves on the Calipers, one inboard, one outboard. Start with the inboard bleed valve first, then the outboard one. The proper sequence is - rht rear, - lft rear, - rht front, - lft front . Hope this helps...
Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
