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...

It helps... not the news I want to hear, but it does help... Thank you!

I'll have to raise the car to rebleed the brake system but this time taking into account the two bleed valves per caliper. I'll pick up a stubby and go at the clutch again... Since I'll have the car up I might as well do the fogging oil. Any advice on how to clean the brake fluid that will undoubtedly get on my pretty red calipers? I've always heard that brake fluid is really bad on paint, but is brake cleaner that much better?
