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!!!

 

The correct way to bleed you do need two person. If you bleed it like you would bleed brakes you will not! get all the air out. Because there is only one line to worry about you have to open the line first then have someone press down the clutch pedal simply by hand then when it bottoms out you can tell because no more fluid comes out, then close the bleeder, repeat for a good ten round. As you're opening the valve the air and fluid in the lines are being push out. Never bleed until the resivoir is empty. Bleed 3-4 times check resivoir. You'll get it. hope this is helpful.

 

worked, thanks
