clutch master cylinder resorvoir ?

[RAS]

Ok, you remove the lid and there is a black rubber diaphragm. After bleeding and filling the resorvoir, how does this diaphragm get positioned into the master cylinder? Do you collapse it as best as you can?

Thank you.

It just sits in there. you don't have to force it in or anything like that. As you screw the lid back on, it will either collapse or if there is too much fluid the the reservoir, it will just leak back out onto the fender well.

Remember with a new clutch the pressure plate fingers are relatively flat
and the clutch slave cylinder extends to reloease the clutch.

As the disc wears the diaphram fingers move ever outwards they gradually
compress the slave cylinder forcing fluid back up into the reservoir

So as the clutch wears it will gradually compress that bellows.
