Hi jeff middleswarth,

To adjust the clutch, you pull at the clutch cable housing at release lever and adjust the nut either in or out depending on whether you want to decrease or increase the pedal height and free travel.

For brake bleeding, you would need an assistant to pump the brake pedal.

Bleeding sequence.

LF, RR, RF and RL.

Fill master cylinder.
Attach clear vinyl bleeder hose onto first bleeder valve to be serviced.
Place other end of hose in clean transparent container.
Partially fill container with clean brake so end of hose is submerged in fluid.
Open bleeder valve 1-2 turns.
Slowly depress brake pedal through its full travel.
Close bleeder valve and release pedal.
Pump pedal several times to push air towards wheel cylinders.
Repeat procedure until flow of brake fluid is clear and shows no sign of air bubbles.
Proceed to next bleeder valve.
Ensure master cylinder fluid level does not go below minumum when doing bleeding process.
