Need help no pedal

Hey guys I installed a new slave last week and everything went smooth... This week I decided to change out the master for the clutch since its old and I have been having problems. Now for the life of me I cant get a pedal at all when I have someone pump it fluid is comming out the remote bleeder line in a stream with no air bubbles at all... So what the heck is going on? Any info Would be appreciated thanks.....

Did you bench bleed the master before installing? There still may be some air in the line that needs to work its way through.

If the master wasn't pre-bled, then, yeah... it'll take a while, but you have to move all that air through the system. I know it's a PITA, but you may want to take the master back out and bleed it on the bench. You can then avoid moving all that air through the slave.

Just remember that when you pop that line out of the slave, the end is closed. You will need to use a nail or small screwdriver, or better yet, the receiver from an old slave (if it was threaded into the slave body) to open it after you pump up the MC. It'll be a two man job.

One person inside, pumping the MC, one person under the car, opening the hydraulic line...with a small nail or screwdriver (look up posts on the drill mod for that procedure). Just don't aim the end of the line at your face.
