Default ****Dealership doesn't know how bleed Mcleod adj. master cylinder...HELP!!!!!!*******

I took my car into a chevy dealership as I know a guy that works there and get great labor rates. I had them install an entire McLeod Single Disk setup, including an aluminum flywheel and adj. master cylinder....

My big problem is they called me and said they couldn't figure out how to bleed McLeod's adjustable master cylinder???? WTF??? I've never heard of problems like that before. They think its a defective part. They said they can't get the pedal to move, and think maybe there is a bad seal somewhere....but they didn't have any idea until today that is was adjustable.....so could that be why the pedal won't move???? Do they just simply have to adjust it??? Do they not need to bleed the master cylinder???

Is there a special trick to this that needs to be known??? Has anyone else had this problem???

Hey Make sure they bench bleed the master cylinder while its off the car otherwise they will never get it bled right hooked up to the slave. Had this problem when I put my adjustable in. We took it back off and becn bleed it and than put it back on the car and hooked it up to the slave amd had it bleed in 10 seocnds. Worked for us.
Goodluck
