Hey all - title says it all. Probable handy resource for first timers in the future.
I'll start:
Am I right to use a giant syringe to get all the fluid out of all three reserviors? (Brake, Clutch and PS)
In doing so, will I introduce air bubbles into the system by emptying the reservior? Or will I be fine so long as the engine is off (PS) and clutch/brake pedals aren't pumped?
Finally, when I am bleeding the brakes/clutch, are the bleed valves supposed to be tightened with the pedals pushed down? Or do I pull them off the floor and then tighten?
If on the floor, how do I reintroduce pressure into the system?
Can anyone give me a detailed step by step?
