Bleeding clutch

[caduceus]

I have no clutch pedal pressure

Fitted new clutch master cylinder and had a new cylinder to ally block pipe made up by Pirtek. Have tried bleeding the thing but no pressure there at all. The fluid IS going through but no pressure.
After trying again yesterday I did notice a little black fluid weep out of one of the slave inlet/bleed screws. Where would that come from and why? As the whole system was emptied and refurbed. The slave was off and cleaned with a new seal in it when the box was off.
There was nothing wrong with the clutch before the resto, but I did notice the mater weeping, hence the change.

Any ideas chaps? Slave mysteriously given up? (even though it was five before..)

Thanks in advance

Slave assembled wrongly?

Possibly...

Just need to get the thing back up in the air again, which with the size garage I have and a sports bike to faff around with, is no mean feat. I need to invest in some kind of hydraulic wheel lift. That or a long reach low profiled trolley jack.

Thanks for the replies chaps. Apart from Gary...

macdeb - genius idea. Will give that a go after I've taken off and checked the slave assembly. As Simon says, I could have assembled it incorrectly.

Lol, it was a tongue in cheek comment Gary. Although I must admit I do have doubts it'll be as effective as the can method. But will give it a go.
My reckoning is that I've assembled something in the slave wrong. It can't be this hard to bleed it. There was absolutely no pressure in the pedal whatsoever when we tried bleeding it the normal way.
