Clutch Won't Work After Changing Leaky Slave Cylinder

[Benzino33]

Happy Easter guys,my 33's slave cylinder started to leak a while ago,givin me grief,I recently bought a 2nd hand one off a gtr from a wecker and tried changing it yesterday.got it all off and in place well in about 10 minutes but the bleeding process was a head fk. I put fluid in,opened the slave,let bubbles out,closed it and did the same to the master and pumped the clutch (had 2 use my hand coz it just dropped straight to the floor).then repeated the process a lot of times but no success.my clutch feels a bit harder but as soon as u get to mid point it just drops to the floor.I thought the cylinder I put in was faulty so I put the old one back in to see if it worked and got the same problem.am I doing somethin wrong? I followed the sau guide on how to bleed the clutch.my car'd kinda stuck where it is now,so any help wil b greatly appreciated.,thanks guys

sounds like you still have air in the line....

easy way is to install the new part, fill with fluid, pump a few times by hand then wedge a long bar or a long bit of wood between the seat and the clutch pedal (to apply constant pressure)

then go underneath and crack the slave cylinder....

repeat the process till u have put thru most of the bottle of brake fluid or the is definately no air bubble at all.... even fluid coming out as a milky colour is infact tiny air bubbles

Thanks for the reply man I'll giv it a try.but the clutch is just falling to the ground and staying there..and how do I crack the cylinder,?

its falling there becoz there is still air in the line..... open the bleeder bolt on the slave cylinder
