New slave cylinder.

[OLDCOAL85]

I changed the slave and I guess my bleed was unsuccessful? I have absolutely no pressure on the pedal and the fluid level will not change

I followed the step by step procedure but could not get a good flow with the reservoir cap off

FIRST do you have help or a helper that can assist you?

With that end of the line open..in a container....can you submerge that line a bit in brake fluid, then have an assistant press the clutch pedal, SLOWLY BY HAND, then hold it too floor for couple of minutes then SLOWLY VERY slowly bring the pedal up?

Doing this with the hydraulic line submerged so no air can get into it should help to press out any air in the system.

How about the method of bleeding the slave? Have you accomplished that?

Please confirm what steps you have accomplished.

you won't get a stream. You're just not supposed to.

Thanks...Calvin

I like that...

Included it into my tech 101 thread..quoted from you of course!

All i did was after completely installing and filling with fluid, i got under the truck and slowly pushed the clutch fork by hand until the slave was compressed. Do this a bunch of times and keep an eye on the fluid. Once you get a good enough pedal to drive it, go drive and the vibration will eventually work the rest of the air out...

I bench bled the slave. Then installed it. With someone on top making sure the resi is full u push the slave piston in. It will push all the fluid and air out of the resi. Then while ur all holding it underneath have ur buddy put fresh fluid in while u slowly release it. This will introduce only fresh fluid. Messy but it always works!
