It's a Canadian thing eh!
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?

My sons 87 300 had a very low pedal also. We changed out the MC this weekend and after pumping the pedal several times he has a great pedal and the truck shifts great. We used to dread driving it as the clutch would barely disengage to shift and reverse was not happening while running. Now you can shift it to reverse with your pinky.

If your slave cylinders is leaking you want to get it taken care of quickly. Mine actually caught fire from the fluid on the clutch and the friction. Minimal damage but it was still a pain and expensive.

bleed clutch
I have 1990 f150 4+4, mine has the plastic screw on cap with the bladder attached on inside and..a small vent hole in the cap, now Im by myself so i took cap off, filled to the rim, compressed bladder best i could into cap and quickly screwed in on. Now I have a bicycle air pump that fills both shrader and the new skinny euro valves well the pumps tip fpr the euro valve fits right on the vent of the cap.I held pump tip on the cap vent tight and pumped the bladder inside the master up just 2 slow pumps.i held it for a minute released the hose and cracked the bleeder and tightened it i did that 3 times and its so good you get complete travel out of slave....if two people you could pump and other guy bleed.i used very small amount of fluid
