I just installed one over the weekend I couldnt get the dam thing bleed either. I was bleeding it the normal way pump the clutch several times and on the your last pump hold the pedal down while the slave bleeder was open for a second then close it and pull the pedal up. I did this for close to 5 hours on an off. Finally I just disconnect the braided line from the slave had a freind hold the pedal down while i pushed in on the braided line end to let fluid out. I did this about 10 times reconnected it back to the slave and had pedal pressure instantly. I still went ahead and bleed it some more thru the slave. All is working great now.

Bench Bleed the master before you hook it up to the slave and the rest of the car, pre bleed it than try it.

I bench bleed mine and still had air in the line.So I pulled the line off the slave and put the metal line in a glass of brake fluid with a screw in there to open the valve and then used a vacuum pump at the resivor and pulled the fluid up threw the Master.This got all the air out.Then I pluugged it back in and pumped the peddle,held down and bleed the slave.Did that twice.Now I have absolutly no air in the system.Never had this setup work so good since I got it 6 months ago.

you've got to bench bleed the ever loving CRAP out of it i sware i didnt get any pedal pressure at all when i first installed it we took it back out cause we thought it was defective....bench bled it for atleast a half hour and it FINALLY got pedal pressure....its worked flawlessly ever since...

You my friend, have helped to restore my sanity! I have been trying to get my Mcleod master bled since last night. I was up until 2am last night and tried for most of the day to get that POS bled. I couldnt even get the beginning of a pedal.I had no helper, so the whole way was a pain. So after bench bleeding it, pulling it out again to re-bench bleed, I did the screw/glass jar trick (while the whole POS was out of the car), and I instantly had a working clutch again. I finally got to test my Patriot Heads and CheaTR cam. Shifter even went right in on the high RPM 2-3 shift. I went from about to go postal, to happy as hell, and I owe it all to you. Well, maybe not but I do owe you a huge thank you

Glad my advise from 3 years ago worked for you

Nowaday's I have a custom pump setup that works everytime.Takes me less than 5 minutes to get all the air out

Haha! I didnt even look at the date. You can see I was searching and trying everything I could to get that thing to work. The hydraulics on these cars are ridiculous. Thanks again.
