Cleaning the inside of a clutch line

[alfettaparts]

Hey guys i wont bore you with to many details but I am wondering what the best way of flushing/cleaning a clutch line would be. I am fitting a new slave to a transaxle that hasnt run for a long time and im concerned there is junk in the lines. Any suggestions welcome

just flush brake fluid through it without hooking the slave up, it is pretty astringent on it's own. Plus once it runs clear you won't have as much trouble bleeding it.

after looking up astringent in google i understand your point lol
I think this will be sufficiant I am just worried there is corrosion in the line. Best thing would be to replace the line but nuts to that.

best way to clean out ANY line containing brake fluid is brake clean...spray it till it comes out clean then follow with a blow out using air then come back with fresh brake fluid....

a system flushed with only brake fluid will still have a black film on the inside of EVERYTHING!!!

thanks shortlife ...do you mean an aerosole typr brake cleaner spray?

yup same stuff you would spray to clean brake parts......after rebuilding all 4 calipers on my gtv6 i flushed ALL of the lines with brake clean befor bolting em up..WOW did i pull alot of crap out of them and the brake fluid was FRESH and clean 1 mile prior to the flush and rebuild..did the clutch lines at the same time..used 1 full can
