they are non-adjustable units That is true, but if there is sponginess in the pedal, there may be a leak in the SLAVE CYLINDER. The slave cylinder is not repairable and must be replaced as a whole unit. It is mounted to the drivers' side of the transmission. The unit is opearated when the clutch is pushed in. To check if the unit is low, check the resavoir that is under the hood next to the brake fluid/master cylinder. The cap on mine says to use DOT 3 brake fluid.


Why are sponges damp when you open the package?

Sponges are moist because manufacturers wet them just before packaging. Typical cellulose kitchen sponges get hard, wrinkled, and crusty-looking when dry. But adding about half of an ounce of water restores them to new heights of consumer-friendly glorious sponginess. The only reason that sponge packages are airtight is to keep the moisture in, and the water used is purified and distilled. This is done to make sure that there are no bacteria sealed in with the sponge. Otherwise, the moisture would be a potential breeding ground for all sorts of nasty stuff, and the sponge would be spreading germs instead of cleaning them up.


Is it possible to make a cake without flour and use vital wheat gluten instead?

No. Vital wheat gluten is the primary ingredient of wheat gluten (seitan), used by vegetarians as an alternative to meat. You can use a little vital wheat gluten to increase the gluten content of cakes, but you cannot make cakes solely with vital wheat gluten. Wheat gluten is used to provide stickiness or sponginess when using whole grains that have insufficient gluten by themselves, or to increase the chewiness of breads. Pure gluten flour or vital wheat gluten or powdered gluten, however, is intended for those who wish to make their own wheat gluten from scratch. It is often mislabelled as gluten flour, which itself has more gluten than flour but not enough to make seitan. See related links, below, for more information.


Why do many streams continue to flow during long periods when there is no precipitation?

Water is held in the soil and seeps out over time. Earth/soil holds water depending on its absorbancy ('sponginess'). Even though the ratio of the volume of water seeping out from a volume of soil is generally quite small, it is compounded by the catchment area of the stream - and hence there is a flow of water in the stream for some time after precipitation. The amount of water in a stream is a factor of the the amount of water being released by the soil, depth of soil, whether there is a non-permiable layer undergound that feeds the catchment, the size of the catchment and amount of recent precipitation. You could experiment to create streams of different water flow long after precipitation by filling in a valley between two mountains with various types of clay, soil, gravel, sand etc and notice the difference of stream flow in each case after precipitation. Of course, such an exercise would take many months/years to undertake and many millions, if not billions of dollars. There might also be government legislation and local environmental groups who might oppose such an activity.

How do you bleed disc brake of motorcycle?

Similar to a car. Clean off the master cylinder cover and the caliper bleed screw. You will need a small jar, a length of narrow bore plastic/ribber tubing that fits tightly on the nipple of the bleed screw, a container of new, appropriate, brake fliud. Place the jar on firm ground by the wheel cylinder to be bled. Put one end of the tube on the bleed screw nipple and the other end in the jar. Put a small amount of brake fluid in the jar to cover the end of the tubing. Place cloths over paintwork (brake fluid strips paint) and remove the master cylinder lid. Using a properly fitting spanner, loosen the bleed screw anticlockwise a full turn. Keeping the fluid in the master cylinder topped up at all times, operate the brake lever to the full length of its travel. Hold the lever position and close the bleed screw. Release the lever. Repeat several times until no further bubbles issue from the tubing. Ensure bleed screw is tight, remove the tubing and refit the bleed screw cover (if fitted), check for correct fluid level check for no sponginess in the brake lever operation and replace the master cylinder cover. Immediately clean up any spillage with soapy water. Dispose of used fluid in accordance with local regulations. NOTE: If changing the fluid completely, proceed as above but leave the bleed screw open and operate the brake lever several times until the master cylinder is empty. Replace the fluid abd bleed the system as above until there are no further bubbles and the fluid runs clear. NOTE: An 'eeze-bleed' or similar one man device is used, it is not necessary to close and open the bleed screw. TIP: If you can't get rid of the air, remove the bleed screw and put grease on the threads. Replace the bleed screw and carry on.
