Thanks a lot for this video. One of the best on KZbin for this particular van. Did the job last Friday, this helped a lot during preparation. When torquing the bolts of the flywheel a block of wood between the teeth of the flywheel and the subframe worked very well to prevent it from rotating. For people who don’t own a pressure bleeder like me: bleeding can be done very fast by pumping the fluid directly into the slave cylinder using a simple oil can and a piece of 6 mm hose.

Great achievement. Mate is doing mine and I'm helping him on his 4 poster ramps. Would like to do it myself till I picked up the Flywheel from the merchants, thought it was nailed to the desk. 👍👍

Yep it’s all heavy and awkward, but definitely a job anyone can tackle, but a lot nicer on a ramp

Brilliant this mate, going to have a go myself, luckily I have got access to a ramp but like the driveway challenge 🤣

[@tony78uk48]

Great video except I’m stuck on the final hurdle. My LUK master cylinder doesn’t have a manual bleed nipple like the original one with the nut type bleed nipple so I tried to pressure bleed from the top like you did but nothing comes out and there no pressure at all in my clutch pedal or do I pressure bleed up from the bottom? Also does my clutch pedal need to be up or down during this process? Thanks

[@Thebikemechanic948]

Hi, so for bleeding the best point is clutch pedal needs to be up, in normal driving position, on the slave cylinder in the gearbox, will be the bleed nipple, this is a half turn bleed nipple from memory, turn it I think anti clockwise, to open it, then bleed through with pressure bleeder, and close before stoping the pressure, to ensure air doesn’t re-enter the system, hope this helps
