Reverse Bleeding Hydro clutch

[plumkrazee70]

Just finished installing the new 340 and the new clutch/PP (switched from 3 finger to diaphragm).

Have a hydro TOB and it bled great with the 3 finger, but with the new setup I cant get it bled. I figured there is trapped air.

I was thinking about reverse bleeding. To do this I will force fluid through the bleeder up to the master. Forcing air up, instead of down.

Bad idea?

I see nothing wrong with your idea.

The Ford Rangers were like that.
Had to bleed up from the bottom to get the trapped air to move.
It works great.
