I'm about to pick up a Motive power bleeder to run some fresh ATE through my brake system and was wondering if I could use it to power bleed the clutch hydraulics as well. Does anyone know if the proper adaptor plate is available?

Thank you.

you can use it for the clutch, but you'd have to check Motive's site for the part

Did that. They don't have an adaptor specifically for Nissan master cylinders (neither brake or clutch). I guess I'm asking if the universal round adaptor they sell actually seals properly against the clutch master cylinder resouvior.

From what I've seen (several different cars) our clutch master cylinders are really small...the site doesn't list a general nissan fitting? Because I think that would be your best bet...and if you can't find it, just bleed it the old fashioned way. That's what I'm doing later on today...only problem is you have to find a person to push the pedal...

I looked quickly at the website and didn't see a Nissan specific fitting (Maybe I'm blind). I'm going to get the import bleeder which comes with a universal fitting. If that doesnt work I'll just do it as you said, with someone pushing the pedal.

I flushed my clutch a few weeks ago using the Mitey Vac hand pump. The seal wasn't all that great between the hose adapters and it let some air in the system. So I resorted to the old fashioned way. I pumped the clutch a few times and held the pedal down with stick wedged into the seat bracket. It meant me jumping in and out of the drivers seat but I finally got it to work. Of course, I had to make sure the master cylinder was topped off each time I stepped out of the car. It took a while though. I made the mistake of not putting a rag under the master cylinder. At times I overfilled the master. Oh well...

There's larger vacuum canister available thru Griot's Garage it's a "One Man Brake Fluid Extractor" cost about $70, I've been using mine for about 2-3 yrs not needing to disturb the wife to help me bleed the brakes any more! It's 19 1/2" tall and can hold 1.056 gallons of fluid. Old bicycle hand/foot style pump no compressor needed. Works anywhere... P/n 85700 www.griotsgarage.com
