Dubaday,

Since you will be pressurizing the brake reservoir, it be a good time to flush the entire brake system, just get extra fluid to complete the task...

You will love the Motive bleeder (for a few extra bucks get the one with the swivel thingi on the hose)

+1 on both points. the European Black Label model is the one to get.

Timely post. I bought the Motive a month back so I could do the brake bleed but I also wanted to do the Clutch fluid portion as well but heard bad things could happen trying to bleed clutch fluid.

So how is the process of doing brakes and Clutch at the same time.
Do all 4 corners then Clutch?
Then a quick recycle of 4 corners then Clutch?

Hey kk2002s,

I found a good write-up from pedro's garage that I will follow myself. Thanks pedro, for this detailed step by step instructions.
