ok, so i started having some issues with my clutch on friday, and so i flushed the clutch fluid and now i have an air bubble because my friend let the reservoir run dry. at first the car still drove but now the clutch isnt working at all. now when i'm trying to bleed it, i have absolutely no pedal. I tried pumping the thing a thousand times and cracking the valve but nothing comes out. the reservoir isn't getting any lower and now i cant get anything out of the bleeder valve. if anyone knows any tricks to fixing this, the help would be greatly appreciated.

clutch master is EASY to remove. the two nuts attach it to the bulkhead, the one line coming off it (use a flare wrench). that's it. just put an old tshirt or towel under it to catch any fluid that leaks out.

it's a 20-30 minute job from beginning to end.

i just changed the slave and i still cant get the fluid to run thru it. i open the bleeder and have the reservoir full. i had my girl press the clutch several times and still nothing.

I had to pull the entire assemble out of the car on one piece, put the slave cylinder at the highest point with the bleeder line open, and let the air work its way out. turns out my master and slave took a crap at the same time and the master was sucking in air every time i pumped it. Good thing thats fixed.
