How to adjust Hydraulic clutch

[subieboy]

Hi Team

How do i adjust the hydraulic clutch on my BH5 GTB?

The bloody thing is out, had the clutch replaced and done a few months ago, and it required adjustment relatively quickly afterwards (less than 50Km after work done) and now done about 3000Km and it is now a pain in the arse as the travel is still all the way there but it engages/disengages in the fist 20mm...

6mm spanner and an midget contortionist (preferably female).

Using the tiny spanner, adjust the rod that connects the clutch pedal to the clutch master cylinder. Got to get down into the drivers footwell to do this. There\'s a couple of flats on the shaft to allow the 6mm spanner to turn it.

May need to crack a nut to allow it to turn and then lock back in place once done.

Midget, farkme, an asian female midget would have trouble doing that!

And yes just completed it...

Thanks for the info.

You could then film it and create a new niche on the internet

I just remembered, that I usually put the seat right back, lay it as flat as it will go, and then lie upside down on it with my head in the footwell and its pretty easy then to see what you\'re doing. Its much worse when its a rally car and there\'s a cage, and non-adjustable seat and the driver decides that the clutch is too far behind the brake pedal :

I never thought of turning the pushrod. Ive always just taken the top stop out and spun the clevis off the pedal. Your way is much better.

Now if you can educate me on a way to bleed the slave without resorting to mitosis/cloning that would be nice.

To make my slaves bleed, I generally just stab them.

I can\'t remember doing anything tricky around bleeding the clutch last time I did it (years ago). I think part of the trick was making sure it didn\'t extend while bleeding it?

Can be adjusted from memory...

Have a gander underneath by the pedals - contortion time
