Keisler kit, WTF?

[go-fish]

I am having a problem bleeding my hydraulic throwout bearing on my Keisler 5 speed kit. The instructions say to mount the resevoir line in front of the pressure line that goes to the bearing.
The only way it can go is opposite of that. The resevoir nipple is NPT and on the bottom. The port ahead of that is a 3/8"s brake line style port and is the same as the pressure line.
When I pump on the clutch it is real soft. It says to put the lines opposite of what they are but they just physically are different. On the part, the NPT threads on the resevoir nipple are on bottom and the pressure line is on the top, the instructions are just saying something totally different than what the part can do.
The only way I can do this is get an adapter for NPT to 3/8" flare and then 3/8" flare to 1/2" NPT (do they even make that?). Keisler, the ports on this are SDRAWKCAB!

Please give me a call to help you with this. Have you talked with Richard?

Actually, when the master is mounted to the firewall, the reservoir line is the first port and the pressure line (braided) is the second one. You'll notice the barbed fitting has an o-ring that seals it so don't over tighten the barb fitting to the point that the o-ring squeezes out and causes a leak.
The most critical part of the installation procedure is the bell to finger measurement. If you skip that part or it is not within spec, you will have problems, guaranteed.
The instructions are pretty straight forward, if you're having trouble with them, please let me know. Call me or PM me your name and number and I'll call you.

Thanks Richard and Gene. You guys are a big help and a simple phone call got me wat I needed to know.
For everyone else, this was a problem due to me ordering at a time when Keisler was changing from one master to the Willwood. I ordered the kit and got the old instructions and the new master. No bigee.
I did botch the bell to finger measurement. Richard got me on the right path with that. They are sending me parts to get me going, firewall stiffener and the part to space the bearing correctly.
