bleeding new master and slave

[njd07]

just installed brand new master, slave and ss line. Ive been trying to bleed for the last hour. the pedal either hits the floor or springs back up becuz of the clutch pedal spring. doesnt feel like there is any hydralic pressure with the pedal. feels the exact same as when the clutch, slave and line were out of the car :confused: has anyone else experienced this or am I just losing my mind.

Do you still have the clutch dampener box? That shit makes it nearly impossible to bleed.
Without the dampener, it shouldn't take more than 5 minutes.

[Mr. Jesse]

there is a "box" in the line that collects air or whatever, prob what he ^^^^ is talking about. you gotta delete that bitch.

Did you bench bleed the clutch master cylinder? You may still have air trapped in there. Or perhaps theres a leak someplace? Or... You're just not bleeding it properly. lol

hmmm maybe I installed the ss line to high? (above the master cylinder) this may be my issue. gonna retry tommorow.

personally I would use speed bleeders. It saved me a lot of time and effort.

Like others have said:
1) Bench bleed MC (until pressure builds in the MC - takes a few pumps)
2) Get Speedbleeder (optional)
3) Clamp Slave with cylinder pushed all the way in (this ensures bubbles aren't in the slave too) with a C-clamp.
4) Bleed until oil comes out nice and smooth.

Done!
