I just replaced my ring gear and put everything back together but i cant get the clutch to bleed. My Haynes manual says to open the screw and let fluid flow out then close it and pump the pedal. My problem is that no fluid will come out no matter how i try to bleed it. I have tried opening and closing as someone else pumps the clutch but no fluid comes out. I have spent two weeks on this project doing it myself and i am about to give up and take it to somebody. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

try doing it with the truck level or the rear end in the air. this might help

 

I will try it but what difference will it make?

 

i don't know how, but it did help me. i think it has to do with which way the fluid wants to go when the truck is tilted different ways

 

Remove the nipple completely and make sure there is a clear passage through it. replace and try again. you might need something to "pull" the fluid through.

 

Would a vaccum pump for brakes work?
