[Bleeding the clutch on my Defender]

Just want to say a big thanks to those of you who have recently posted advice on the above subject.

i have a Defender TD5 2003, recently I had encountered problems whilst attempting to change gear,firstly I tried draining  the fluid and topping up,but no joy,I had a look on this forum and decided to attempt reverse bleeding, I did as suggested by several of you who had contributed, and I am delighted to say my gears are now functioning as good as ever.

Much appreciated.

Soak it over night with WD40. Then bounce the nipple with a hammer and use a six sided socket to remove it. Then use a new nipple. If you do not bounce it, it may breakaway.

Thanks Sigi,did try soaking with WD40 already

A friend also suggested Plusgas,so will try this

A few taps with a light hammer on the end help break the corrosion if the nipple is beyond re-use, and heat will also help ( but don't overdo it)

Thanks cackshifter,advice appreciated

Thanks for the welcome and advice Maverik.

Renewed brake pads on my Defender TD5

Brakes need to be bled but the bleed screw/s would appear to be seized.

Have owned this vehicle for 6 years and not attempted to bleed brakes before.

Any advice on bleed screw removal would be much appreciated 

Thanks in advance
