dreaded hyd clutch bleeding

[david taylor]

I looked back on some older threads and found some information. The problem is I cant, quite grasp what it says about turning the mc and clearing the air bubbles. I replaced both the mc and slave cylinder and have been fooling with it the last two days.
If someone had any suggestions or ideas , it would be greatly appreciated. also pictures of the trapped air bubble area and would be a great help. thanks, David

Remove the cap on the reservoir, pump the clutch pedal until it stops bubbling, add fluid as necessary, done. (with slave attached to bellhousing/clutch fork)

go under the rig and manually push the slave in and out about a 1/2 dozen times... done..

trapped air bubble some times on aftermarket master were reservoir hose goes to master plastic nipple . inside nipple there is sometimes a dome shape and can hold a air bubble and get sucked in/out during use.

lots of ways to bleed that work for lots of people. I just bench bleed the whole system and held the master upside down so no air get trapped . and held the slave up highest and bleed it . set it all back in truck and never a problem .

clutch bleeding

still having problems . it seems the fluid doesn't go past the mc. On the plastic nipple do you remove it from the mc and check for flap ? or do you try to run a wire through the hole and try to clean it out.

Thanks, David

If you never bench bleed the slave cylinder just unbolt it from the bell and crack the bleed screw loose and let it gravity bleed for a bit.

That just sounds really similar to the problem I had. Just a thought

I want to thank everyone for your advice and suggestions. I fooled with this for about 3 days, a little while each day. I finally pulled everything off and sat in the floor for about ten minutes and bleed the system. I then reinstalled everything in about thirty minutes, And then I went hunting.
I saw two turkey and one bobcat and one doe.
Thank you very much for your help. Thanks, David
