hey all!
helping a mate out earlier with a mk2b, his slave cylinder looked to be leaking a little so i offered to stick a new one on for him.. took it off and bolted the new one on but it just wont bleed!
it is the type where you can't turn the bleed nipple, you just pull the clip up and pull the clutch line out 10mm as i read on here but it just trickled out a few bubbles and that was it. clip back on and still no clutch :bang:
tried putting a pipe on it into some brake fuild as you would bleeding brakes and all it did was throw bubbles out, way more air than could be within the system.
we even tried putting the old slave cylinder back on and it wont bleed, kinda stuck now as his car is outside of mine and obviously he needs it
any ideas? my uncle has one of the air bleeders for brakes.. might give that a go but surely it shouldn't be this difficult, it was driving before the old cylinder came off..
thanks!
