how to bleed clutch..help plz
yeh, like the title of the of topic. i just installed brand new clutch line, master and slave cylinder and i'm having a hard time just to get a drop of fluid moving. Call me stupid, but i tried just about everything and now i'm just exhausted myself working in the rain. Some one pointed to me a theory that the slave cylinder rod needs to be pumped but i wait for some answers. Thanks..

Did you refill and pump it up a couple of times?

yup, i did that but nothing was going on. When i did open the bleeder valve, i can hear air pumping so i know the master cylinder is pumping.. well, in theory it's pumping since i can hear air pumping, with no fluid though.

its not rocket science and you dont need any special tools...
you need 2 people or something to keep the pedal down to the ground when you open the bleeder valve....
I always have someone with me behind the wheel of the car pumping the pedal... I tell them to pump it 10 times while the valve is closed... at number 10 they keep the pedal down to the ground... then I open the valve and close it... repeat until it starts shooting out fluid and make sure that the reservoir doesnt go empty so no air gets in the lines. I always do it about 2-3 more times after fluid comes out... when the pedal starts getting "heavy"..
Remember not to open the bleeder valve unless the pedal is down to the ground.

I meant to say is it off. But since you said that, always take the cap off when your bleeding something.
