Thats what bench bleeding it, its an older term for bleeding the air out of cyclindars before you isntall them. Basically have the parts suck up fluid and force out the air.

Hi,

The hydraulic line will have a Flare Nut fitting on it. The ones on the Calipers are 10mm, so I assume it's the same.

The change in Line and Union probably notes a change to whatever Nut is currently used and you most likely have to swap them all out...

Jim,

It looks like my hydraulic line is held in by a push pin,see my pic,that's my exact one from my car. I was told that there are two types of hydraulic lines,the push pin and from what you say a flare nut fitting. The pic looks like a push pin design,please correct me if I'm wrong.

This is the part I will be changing it out with;

Why in the world does Porsche use several different parts for the same application?

Hi, Last weekend i visited a friend who is the proud owner of a 2003 Boxster S and a 1999 base model, he went for a ride in my car and noticed that the clutch needed a little more effort to push down compared to his 2 cars.

Has anyone compared the 1997 to the other years and notice any difference or is there maintenance to be done on my clutch.

Thanks

Franco

The clutches are different from 97'-99' compared to 00'+,so I would think they would feel a little bit different. How many miles are on your clutch,perhaps it's getting old(but not to the point of replacement)?

Thanks Blinkwatt, My car has 64000 KM, what made you change those parts out

Well I went to bleed the slave cylinder and I found out that someone had stripped the bleeder valve,not allowing me to bleed it. It didn't effect anything,car drove fine,it's just one of those things I knew wasn't 100% so I made it 100% again.
