Hmmm noticing a pattern here.... Got it out. not sure how but o well should be fun putting it back in. I did look around here for info on bleeding the system but is there any thing exact that i should know?? seems to be a few ways or thoughts on the matter and they all seem to be for the slave. The one way seal on the plunger appears to be bad,as it will create vacuum and presure but not take fluid in so i have ordered a new one. I was wondering if the whole system needs to be sealed up for it to function. Or if I can get it to work outside of the car??(just so that i am bleeding it right) Once i have it in should I bleed the master full? or does it need resistance to function? Sorry that I have so many questions as i am somewhat of a slow learner(thats why took the master apart to see what is what i hope it was bad....) also i suck with computers so most of this may have been covered else where on this sight i just couldnt find so sorry to rehash old topics Thanks ZR

Clutch masters and slaves are notoriously difficult to bleed; IMO the only way to do it is with a pressure bleeder. Motive i think is the brand name of the one i have.

Did a quick google and found this link showing how to DIY your own pressure bleeder.

Go to your local hardware store and buy one of those hand pump oil cans for $5. Fill it with the fluid. From the slave cylinder connect a hose from the bleeder to the pump tip. Back fill from the slave side to the master. Excess will bubble up into the reservoir. Its a piece of cake and works fantastic.

Some people have a hard time, some dont. Good luck.

I was ready for a fight with mine and it went right in.
