Default HELP, Need expert advise!

Clutch experts please chime in. I just installed a new master cylinder in my c5z06 & now the pedal won't go down. It won't budge! The install was easy & went really smooth until I tried to pump the pedal to bleed it. I even unhooked it from the pedal to ensure the pedal wasn't the problem & it moves freely when not connected to the cylinder. The fluid levels are normal & the slave was replaced when the clutch was done. The only reason I replaced the master was it had a leaky seal. Any advise will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Try unhooking the line & pushing to see if some sort of blockage occurred. Just a thought.

Same thing happened to a buddy. He didn't have the hyd line fully engaged. The clip still fit but it wasn't fully connected inside. If you force the pedal you will snap the plastic holding it.

I agree with the above the connection is not being made for the pedal to be hard, hope that helps.
