I was reading the Bentley about flushing clutch fluid during lunch, it mentioned that I should remove the slave cylinder and flush it by pushing the pushrod into the cylinder... is this really neccessary?
If I just pressurize the system and flush out the fluid from the bleeding value, will it be good enough?
I did Eugene's car and we didn't remove it, and the clutch was a lot firmer afterwards already...
But I read it in the Bentley and was just curious... makes sense that I should flush it, but I don't wanna go get the BMW special tool to remove slave cylinder... heh..

Bentley also suggest hooking up the MoDIC to flush the brake fluid.
I believe the most proper way to flush the brake/clutch hydraulic fluid is to pump the pedals. The most complete way is to disassemble all the parts and clean them inside out. :dunno:
Frankly, I've been using nothing but the brake bleeder and some occasional "pedal pump" and have had very good success so far.
I'll just do it the way I've been doing last 4 times or so... but 3 of those times I didn't have a clutch, and we didn't read the Bentley when Eugene and I did his car...
Bot some ATE SB for $8 a can at bimmerparts, not bad!
