Brake/Clutch fluid flush

Not sure about their wood block reference.

Think about it. When you push the pedal the slave cylinder piston rod extends out moving the clutch release fork. The slave cylinder is filled to its maximum operating volume. When you release the pedal the piston rod retracts to its "clutch engaged" position. This position changes slightly over time as the clutch disc wears -- gets thinner from wear.

So there's always fluid and possibly bubbles in the cylinder when the clutch is engaged {pedal not pressed}. To remove those last remaining bubbles in the cylinder you may need to retract the piston and rod to their minimum position -- end of travel. This doesn't typically occur during normal operation of the clutch. You are pushing the rod back into the cylinder as far as possible to push out those last remaining bubbles in the cylinder.

its great....thanks for it

i just wish the list was a bit more organized and easier to find things, but oh well,

i was mainly looking for torque specs on things like CVT drain and fill plugs, etc etc, which i did find

i didnt look too hard or closely yet, but i couldnt seem to find anything on the coolant drain and fill

Torque spec for the drain bolt and fill plug is 36ft/lbs

Perhaps try downloading it again. I just did it and was able to find everything I needed for a brake flush and more. Good luck.
