Subject:clutch/brake bleed order
From:Ed Duntz
Date:Fri, 2 Aug 2013 22:55:48 -0400

Apologies to those reading this post on the Samba as well, but I'm covering
all my bases.

I've got to bleed my clutch and brake system. I think I know the procedures
for each, but I'm not sure in what order to do them- clutch first, then
brakes, or the opposite?

I've had a slow leak in the brake system which escalated and has caused my
reservoir to get low enough for the clutch not to work. I'll be replacing
the wheel cylinder, which I think is the source of the leak (though I
haven't taken the wheel off yet) and I want to get the bleeding right.

Although I don't have the Bentley manual in front of me, I think I can find
it before I try to do the job tomorrow.

Thanks,
Ed
