Patience.
 
Do you have some type of mechanical bleeder? & did you fill the slave before installing the line?
 
Open valve and get her wet carefully with a few pumps, be carefull to collect the squits. Then collect with a partner pumpming. UP DOWN ETC.
 
use a cut innertube put one end over the master cylinder top with a clamp to hold it....add fluid...roll up the other end and clamp it good.....pump some air in till it bulges slightly....open the bleeder on the slave....when no more air comes thru ur done....that simple!
make sure u use enough fluid to fill everything, and have a hose ready as it tends to make a mess, also u might need ur pedal pushed in...i dont remember....zimmmmy
 
If the slave cylinder was new - make sure you moved the bleeder screw - they come in the box in the wrong hole.
 
must..... refrain...... from...... making...... off...... topic...... remarks....... *head explodes*
 
I use the pump method by pumping fluid up through the bleed hole in the slave cylinder and filling the master cylinder that way. It pushes out all of the air in the system. The pumps are fairly cheap and work well. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gifPJ
