Clutch Bleeder Tool

[Kdubski]

Chasing a weird brake issue that arose following an engine rebuild.

Hitting all angles of the brake system and was told by a local race shop to only bleed the clutch slave cylinder with the special tool. I bench bled the slave before installing, but they insisted air can be stuck in the SC.

Has anyone bled using this tool that can confirm it's really necessary?

You can use a simple U bolt. Forgot which user posted about it years ago. But it's best for install, then release to draw pure fluid in.

FYI, the clutch system is self bleeding. Just pump the clutch. Air rises to reservoir I believe.

Yes clutch should be self bleeding. But if you suspect bad fluid in the lines you can bleed it just like a brake caliper. DIY with pics here:

That makes a lot of sense. The "bubbling" sound I got from the MC/booster following an engine rebuild is likely from an improperly bled slave cylinder that was replaced. Lets hope this is it!
