I have a reverse bleed tool kit, or you can do what others have suggested by running a hose from one of the brake caliper bleeders to the slave. You might get away without having an extra foot. Get as much air as possible out of that hose by pumping the brakes several times before attaching it to the slave. Attach it, then pump some more. Eventually any air in that hose and in the clutch slave (and clutch master) should reach the reservoir. The advantage of this clever method over using the reverse bleed tool is that it recirculates the fluid to the reservoir and does not raise the fluid level. With the reverse bleed tool, someone has to carefully watch the reservoir fluid level, so it's a two person job.

We plan on being there with the 928 (I thought about flying down, but that would be missing the point....). Let me know if I can be of any help.

Shouldnt need much, pretty informal. Flight club is picking up the cost of the basic food stuffs and basic drinks.

Bring a chair if ya like, and anything else youd like to burn to eat.

Robin and I will be there in the '91. Very excited about this! Especially since I had to miss what would have been my first Sharks in the Park this year (was on a flight from London back to SFO that afternoon). It'll be great to meet you all...

That's a cleaver idea, I just picked up a vacuum/reverse bleeder tool but I'll try that idea first tonight.

June 22
Squadron2 Flight Club
2655 Robert Fowler Way
San Jose, CA 95148
Phone: 408.648.2008
My Cell: 831 454 6712

Start: 10a
End: Eh..whenever, things dry up around 3pm, noon being the height of course.

Should be plenty of burgers and dogs for everyone..bring anything specific if you want it.

Get to that addr, and the gate will be open here: (green arrow)


Your 928 will be directed onto the ramp.

Family scene for sure..wifi available, and you can peek at/into the planes on the ramp as well.

Where can you go, what can you see??

Anything in green, you are free to wander 'round and go see things:


You could walk farther out to the runway..but then you are crossing more active taxiways, and who wants that..if its a nice day (it will be) it will be a busy day on the runway/taxiways.

The little green box at the bottom of the image, is the airport terminal, you can go in there anytime as well from the ramp side entrance (where we will be in the secure area) or from the public road side entrance where the car parking lot is.

It is not advised to park at the terminal, then go through it to get to the BBQ.

Its highly likely you can ask myself or the wife for a ride in something. Im checked out in everything the club has, Anissa is checked out in the cessnas, and most of the Piper models.

ANY questions?

Just wanted to says thanks to Jeff and Anissa for this event (and also thanks to your flying club). Everyone was super friendly and my wife and I had a great time. Nice to see eleven 928s including an electric one! The bacon-wrapped chicken was yummy too...
