I just rebuilt my Clutch Master and Slave Cylinders and am trying to bleed them. I first tried the standard method of putting a tube from the bleeder valve into a jar with some brake fluid, pump the clutch and open the bleeder valve. Nothing. I got a little bit of brake fluid out but mostly air.
I gave this up and have been trying to bleed them with a MightyVac. (This is basically a vacuum pump hooked up to the bleeder valve and you suck the brake fluid into a small bottle) With MightVac I get brake fluid and air. Constant bubbles.
I have processed at least 8 complete refills of the Master Cylinder and I never get un-bubbled brake fluid.
At this point I have about 2 inches of clutch movement so I can shift but after driving for a bit I have to pump up the clutch to get it to work.
Any ideas? (I have already verified by dissassembling and checking that I have rubber parts in the proper orientation.
Thanks,
Pete
