i have replaced my cmc, slave, and hard lines. I am in the process of bleeding the system but I have a huge problem. No, and i mean no fluid is being pumped by the cmc (clutch master cylinder). I feel no air pushed through the bleeder nipple and the fluid level in the resivoir is certainly not decreasing when I try to 2 man bleed the system or one man for that matter.

I think I bench bled my cmc but its my first time doing it and the instructions were for a brake master cylinder not a cmc.

This is the second cmc i've tried so ITS NOT the cmc or the slave. No holes in the hard lines, and no leaks anywhere!

I'm dumbfounded with the crap and I'm considering hari kari, so please help!!!

 

how did you bench bleed it?

 

got it to work, all is well.

 

You can't leave us hanging like that man..... what did you do to get it working

 

i love my vaccumm pump/bleeder does wonders.

 

Yes RedneckRicer i cant agree more, sure beats the days when i had a water bottle filled up half way with flued and a nice tube sticking out of it to the bleeder nut

i got one better, mine uses shop air, to create a venturi. but the mityvac is great also.

glad its all goos.

we used to have issues with some old isuzu's, so we reverse bled them (forcing fluid through the bleeder and out the mc.)

 

Well, I just two man bled it forever and all of a sudden air and fluid stared rushing out the nipple

 

You should be able to just pump the pedal until it starts spitting fluid and then two-person bleed it to finish it off.
