Default How to bleed a clutch?

Just replaced the clutch on my d16z6 and when I took off my slave cylinder out of the fork it pulled the ball out, basically the same as pushing my clutch in with my slave cylinder off, so now my clutch has no pressure when I push the clutch in and it doesn't pop back out. I tired bleeding the slave cylinder a few times but didn't feel any difference. What I did to bleed it was loosen the bleeder nut and the push in the clutch and hold it in, then tighten the bleeder nut back up, but no difference after two or three times. any help?

It will take several times if it is full of air.It will probably fall right to the floor and have to be pumped up by hand the first few times until you build a little pressure.

check your slave cylinder and see if it is leaking

its easier if you have pan already filled a little with tranny fluid and run a small hose from the slave to the bucket(make sure the hose is always submerged). Then really quickly( with you hand) pull and push the clutch to get all the air out, and don't let the reservoir run out as stated above.
