#1: Clutch slave cylinder bleed screw Author: magellan, Location: ScotlandPosted: Sun Jan 15, 2012 10:18 am ---- Hello everybody,
I need to bleed my clutch but I found the bleed screw is in bad shape (rounded and rusted). 9mm spanner slips on it, 8mm is too small, 10mm is too big. I atempted using pliers as well with no success (I get a good grip but the screw seems badly stuck).
I applied a good amount of WD40 with the hope of loosen it more easily but with no luck.
Does anyone have any suggestion before I consider replacing the clutch slave cylinder?
Below is a picture of the bleed scrw so you get a good idea of its condition.
Thank you in advance for you responses.
Michael

Thanks… I would consider this but I'm not feeling too confident about it: the Haynes manual states the braking fluid might be flamable… Any risk?
