I am not getting fluid to my slave cylinder , think my master cyl got in air in when the hose got pulled off of it . How can I bleed it ? I tried pumping up the clutch pedal and using bleed valve on slave but I can't even get fluid that far .
Thanks

 

You need two people to pump and bleed the system. If you don't have a second person you need a vacuum pump. Apply suction to the bleeder nipple and crack it open. Make sure you keep the reservoir full.

I tried and I can't get any fluid comin through the system . I have tried for ove an hour non stop and no fluid will reach the slave . The slave has been leaking but now the master will not even pump

 

I ran into this on an old Toyota truck I had. Its like the master had an airlock in it that would not let fluid get out. I ended up taking the line off the master and using one of those cheapo priming/bleeder kits. The one with the plastic fitting that screws into where the line to the slave comes out and a hose that feeds back into the master cylinder reservoir. Pump the pedal until I got all the air out of the master and hooked the line back up and it bled normally out the slave after that.

 

Reverse bleed it. Fill up one of those pump-type oil cans with brake fluid and connect it to the bleeder screw with a rubber hose. Take the cap off the reservoir and pump fluid out of the can till it spills over the top of the reservoir.

 

See the problem here is I am so sick of this truck . It has 225,000 miles on it and everything is going out on it now , power window last month , numerous vac leaks , rear end . Still pulled like a new one but I am so sick of putting money in it . I went today and looked at some replacement cars to take its place for a few months . Think I am going to just get rid of it . I messed with it for most the day with no luck . It needs a list of parts 6ft long . I have owned Fords all my life and this is the first bad one I have ever had . I put about 80,000 miles on it this past year , alot of driving and heavy heavy pulling , that little V6 would out pull my neighbors 351 and 302 like it was nothing .
Thanks for the ideas though .
