ped1966 Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 hi all,my problem concerns a bleeding problem namely my clutch.the other day i lost all pressure on my clutch pedal so i decided to first bleed the clutch,it had happened a week or so before too but the clutch came back however this time it did'nt.so anyway i started bleeding the clutch and there was plenty of air coming through BUT i rounded the bleed nipple nut off!ive rang the ford dealers up and apparently they dont list a clutch bleed nipple as a seperate part.my question is are they just a general bleed nipple?are the the same as the nipple on the brakes etc or do i need to go to the scrappy?any input would be really helpful.thanx.pete(sorry forgot to say its a 1999 focus 1.8 v tech) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flying clutchman Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 It's a pretty standard bleed nipple but I think you'd probably need the right one. You're wasting your time replacing the nipple though, you probably need a new cylinder. (which comes with a new nipple. One thing to check first though, check that the feed pipe to the cylinder does'nt have a hairline crack on it just where it plugs in. (very rare but can happen). Otherwise it's gearbox out and new cylinder in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
