Help Bleeding Clutch

Post by dub2dub » Mon Mar 19, 2007 10:08 am

Having a few problems bleeding my clutch after replacing the slave cylinder. Im using an eazi bleed which I have attatched to the reservoir, made sure the clutch pedal is pulled right back and plonked it in 3rd gear as per workshop manual, but when I open the bleed nipple nothing comes out, its as if something is blocking it.
Am I doing something wrong or could it be a faulty clutch master cylinder?
thanks in advance

Ok, finally got the stupid thing to bleed but to no avail, have a sort of pedal but absolutely no clutch.
Having now replaced the friction plate, pressure plate, release bearing and slave cylinder, the only thing I have not replaced now is the clutch master cylinder so just ordered one up.
Just wondered if anyone has any tips on fitting it (looks pretty straight forward but then most things do until you start it :roll:)

:shock: I had a mini years ago that the clutch didn't work on. After changing most parts found it was the arm that operates it. The ball on the in had broken so wasn't lifting the bearing.

how did you get on? did you fix it?

i am having trouble getting a spanner to move the bleed nipple, there is too much stuff around it. i can get a socket on no problem, but then oil will go everywhere. (9mm)

am i missing something?

thanks
