M8 Greyhound clutch problem

[Malcolm Towrie]

Darryl, i certainly agree 1/2" tubing is way overkill for the clutch line. It's a mystery why the OEM spec'd it. I suspect a massive typo.

I don't know what version of the parts manual you have, but mine shows that the original spec was lengths of 1/2" flexible hydraulic line! That's even weirder.

As someone mentioned above (maybe you), using 1/2" tubing just makes bleeding much more difficult as you won't get enough fluid velocity to carry air bubbles along the tubing.

So that's a 1/2" UNF thread on the m/c outlet. That's why I couldn't get the as-found 1/4" NPT fitting to seal!
