Where can I buy a cap for a Saab master cylinder?
The best bet would be to buy a stock cap for the master cylinder (Saab PN 89 66 152), or get one from a junk yard. Once you have a cap that can be made to seal, you can buy a tire valve stem at an auto parts store and drill a hole in the cap to accept the valve stem (I believe it takes a 1/2″ hole).
How does the clutch work on a Saab?
Saab clutches just aren’t like your average car. You can foot-pump the clutch on most cars and the pedal will return on its own; on the Saab, if you push the un-bled pedal to the floor, it just stays there, and pressure never builds.
How do you close the bleed valve on a bike?
After you pressurize (or vacuum) the system and expel fluid and air, close the bleed valve. Now push the pedal down by hand until you encounter some resistance (close to the bottom of the stroke), then pull the pedal back up. Repeat, pushing down to resistance, then pulling back up.
Why does my Saab 900 clutch keep bleeding?
This feature is not available right now. Please try again later. A spongy clutch or brake pedal on a SAAB 900 hints at air in the system. Bleeding hydraulic systems on your SAAB is much easier with a pressurized vacuum device. I bought mine at Harbor Freight for about $30. Money well spent.

How do you refill the bleed valve on a car?
Tighten/close the bleed valve. Remove the cap from the reservoir and refill it to the brim with fresh fluid. Reinstall the cap tightly. Push the clutch pedal down by hand until you meet some slight resistance (or to the bottom of its travel if no resistance). Pull it back up to the top of its stroke.
