Bleeding the clutch

[saml666]

Reassembling after chassis resto, bled brakes a treat so went to bleed clutch and it won't ... easibleed pressure jobbie connected to new master cylinder but nothing at the bleed nipple in the slave cylinder. Am I being a numpty? Is it one you bleed from underneath, up to the master?

Bleed nipple not blocked ... all ideas much appreciated!

Thanks,
Sam

dis-connect pipe from slave and see if fluid runs through from master cyl ?

Check pipe for kink or squashed ?

loosen pipe at master cyl and press pedal v gently (plenty rag around) fluid should ooze out ?

Often needs to be pumped a little to get it allow flowing, consider how the fluid has to fill around piston etc . .
