I now have brake fluid at all wheels. Must still be air in the lines as I have no pedal.

Boy is clutch a pain. Maybe I have the line in the wrong orface? It is in the front one so now I can not get to the bleed valve, it is tucked up under the generator. Anyone remember which orface the line goes to. Hate to pull the clutch slave but I will. Don't remember it being an impossable job to bleed.

Oh well, onward and upward, maybe.
 
Sorry Jack, no help here. I converted to dual cylinders years ago.

You have it right Jack, the one on top is the bleeder that is "supposed" to be accessible through the passenger footwell opening(Hah!). I made a special wrench by bending a 7/16ths wrench in the middle to about a 20 degree angle and put it on the bleeder before attaching the bleeder hose. It helps a little!
One of these days I am going to make one of those remote bleeders as seen in an earlier post!! If they had only designed the slave to have the bleeder on the bottom it would have made servicing it so much easier!!(I just looked in VB cat. pp90 and the diagram looks nothing like what we have on the cars, and they show the bleeder parallel to the plunger - Moss on the other hand has the same picture but with the bleeder shown 90 degrees to the plunger??)
 
Hahahahahhahahahha, LOL LOL on me.

I have the lines to the master cylinder reversed. DUH.


The clutch and the brake are not the same, DUH


Boy hate to admit this but that.s the way it is.

Yoda screwed up big time.
 
Weeeelll now, that would make a slight difference. Pushing the brake pedal might work the clutch for you though(haha)! It would make heel-and-toe driving a might bit awkward though!!!hehehe. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/laugh.gif
 
At least you found it, Jack. We're all entitled to a few simple (though perhaps profound) mistakes. At least this was an easy, free fix.
