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!!!

 

try using a vacuum pump (hand pump) available at sears. open the bleeder valve at the slave. have an assistant at the reservoir ready to pour in brake fluid as it goes down (do not let it go empty or else more air will be introduced into the system). attach the hose from the pump to the bleeder valve and start pumping. do this until you used about 3/4 bottle brake fluid (big bottle). you should now have pressure when you press down on the pedal. this is what i did when i replaced my cmc and slave.
