Clutch Bleeding Problem

[Strick.]

Gday all,

Ill start this by stating I have searched and also read through a few really good DIYs so have checked off, what i think, all the simple stuff.

Vehicle in question is R32 GTST with RB25det and matching R33 gearbox.

So, ive bleed my clutch before but this time I have swapped out the master cylinder for a R33 item and also replaced the factory line with a braided line. Started bleeding away just like should be done however am getting no where. Its become apparent when I open the bleed nipple on the slave cylinder its sucking in a heap of air before depressing the clutch to continue the bleeding procedure. The slave piston is also pushing out when the bleed nipple is opened and the air is sucked in.

Is something out of alignment so its not pushing the slave piston when it should? Am I doing something wrong, rookie mistake etc etc??

Dont want to take it to someone to get it done, would prefer to increase my knowledge and get it done correctly.

Cheers!

Il add, as I was getting nowhere I went back and bleed the master as well.

did you bench bleed your master?

[Strick.]

Nope didnt bench bleed it, however i did bleed it once it was on the car. maybe I havent bleed it enough yet

[Hadouken]

well you will have to bleed it alot until you get all the air out thats trapped in there.

would have saved yourself a lot of time by bench bleeding

[Strick.]

yep, will know for next time. First time ive replaced a master cylinder. Seems like i simply need to bleed the system more as there is just so much air in there

[Hadouken]

The master is a high point in the system. Air will be hanging out and reminiscing there and probably mocking you.

hmmm, might pull the slave off and bleed from the master as you have a fair point about the high point. if still no good ill pull it apart and bench bleed. cheers mate
