bleeding

[rockstarb8]

hey......does anyone know a good way to get the air out of a hydrallic system for the clutch.....teh instructions said to pump it and let the air out.....we did that and it didnt work at all so some help would be great

ok my dad has bought 2 master clutch cylinders and both of them havent worked right....we tried putting back on the original one but that one looses pressure......is it worth gettin a rebuild kit or to buy the clyinder from another place or company?

It's possible you got a 2 bad ones...is there a way to bench bleed them before you put it on?

With my car, I did the bench bleed and made sure fluid was the only thing in the line and didn't have a problem. Before that there was a soft spot in the clutch travel.

Another way I was able to get air out of my master cylinder...( prelude to getting it power bled....and this in kind of the same thing ) was to remove the cap and slowly press the pedal. Air bubbles would come out of the creveces and give a full pedal...at least long enough to get to the brake shop for a power bleed.

thanks for the help man...we ordered a rebuild kit that's comin in tomorow....i had my dad helpin me on it and he's done plenty of bledding jobs in the past and was gettin pissed how bad the cylinders were so he's just rebuilding the original.....the problem was with the old one it'd let out pressure from the rubber seals messin up so the clutch wouldnt hold in it'd eventuall loose grip and disengage the clutch while the clutch was held down
