bleeding clutch.
#21
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.....

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?

It's a Canadian thing eh!
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.

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?
