Reply to "Clutch Slave Cylinder - Leaking Again"

Hi Mike,

I finally installed it a week or so ago. I just used an old Pantera eyelet end rod - I didn't bother unscrewing the ball end.

I am having a major problem bleeding it though. This is the 3rd cylinder I have installed so I have plenty of experience with bleeding (and have bled multiple brake systems on many different cars over the years). I have tried many different methods and still can not get a hard pedal. If I pump the pedal rapidly a few times, it will build pressure, but temporarily. So somehow there must still be trapped air which compresses with the pumping. I will give it one more shot tomorrow.

If I still have the problem, I am inclined to send it back. I seemed to have picked up a Pantera clutch system curse along the way.

I'm open to any bleeding ideas!! (I do not have a pressure bleeder)
