Well I got my line bled. I feel really stupid. I hate to post this but it might help someone else out. There is a rubber boot inside the resevior like that rubber in your brake resevior. After I took the rubber out I begin to bleed the system. I tried like everyone posted and worked on it for about an hour. Then we tried to do it like your brakes. I pumped the crap out of it by hand and held it to the floor. Did that about 6 times. Pedal was getting tighter each time. I heard systems are different. I have a 1996 ford f150 eddie bauer edition. That way worked for me. Thanks for all the help guys.....

If it's any consolation, reading this just flipped the "I'm a dumb***** switch in my head," I changed my CLUTCH master cylinder this weekend, gravity bled the system, it worked, but very low pedal. Due to bad parts and worse luck I changed it a total of 4 times, once breaking the new MC. In all the hassle, I'd left the seal inside the old MC, and never replaced it in the new one... Very stupid mistake I know, but I'll have a new one by 10:00am today Thanks for the reminder

Ok so I need to bleed the clutch on my 93. As I understand from reading above, I press the clutch pedal down once and hold then my buddy cracks the bleeder and then I let the clutch up and repeat this process till I feel pressure again?

no thats WRONG....

Google it or search this forum for the answer

You just need to open the bleeder once to let it gravity bleed till you get a clean stream of fluid. Then top up the reservoir and start pumping. It takes time but it does build pressure. Its not like bleeding brakes.

works much faster if you pull the rubber boot out of the cap until its bled

I have air in my system and I've tried bleeding it a couple times before, but I cannot get the bleed valve open. I'll try but the valve stem off the slave will start bending before it breaks open. It's a new slave cylinder as of a year ago and the only other time the valve was open was on install. Any tips on how to loosen the nut without breaking the stem?
