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!!!

 

check your pedal connections?

 

yuppers, all is triple checked, hell everything is for that matter. thanks though

 

is the bleeder ope?

 

Use a vacuum bleeder at the slave cylinder bleeder valve to get things started. Once you see fluid flowing, the master cylinder will build SOME pressure.

Now it's time to revert back to the old way of bleeding brakes:

#1 It's a good idea to seal the bleeder valve with teflon tape.
#2 Run a clear hose from the bleeder to a container half full with brake fluid. Keep the hose submerged in brake fluid.
#3 Open the bleeder valve, leave it open, pump the clutch pedal 20 or 30 times (you will have to move it UP and DOWN by hand). Make sure the master cylinder stays full of brake fluid.
#4 Tighten the bleeder valve while the clutch pedal is UP.

 

thanks for the help guys, I got things going
