bleeding clutch

nordic97mist · 07-23-2012, 07:30 PM

Trying to bleed my clutch line. Had to get a new master cylinder, the old one was leaking. I know how to bleed lines i've done it before but the fluid wont move in the resivour? Is this a bad master cylinder (got it from autozone). I did not bench bleed, i never have but this i dont know what the hell is wrong lol

unhook the line, put a catch bottle on the outlet port, and pump the shit out of the pedal... if that doesnt work, try bench bleeding it off the car... and if that doesnt work, you got a piece of shit from vato zone... not much else to it that i can think of

It's probably a cable clutch. Lolz

dont pump the shit out of it without someone putting their finger over the port atleast.

its hard to bench bleed it when the reservoir is seperate so i usually just get someone to pump the pedal while i hold my finger over the hole. at work i just use the brake flush machine and push all the air out, but you dont have that option.

-_-

Well what i've done in the past is use this little bottle thing with a tube and put the tube on the bleeder and open it up a little bit and pump the fluid through the line...but the fluid wont move out of the reservoir...its always worked until today lol i hate this car

With a bleeder screw or outlet port open, press the pedal down to the floor, then hold a finger over the port while releasing the pedal. Do this a few times to get fluid sucked through the master cylinder internals. Then bleed as normal.
