I have one of those aluminum CNC clutch masters on my car. Tonight, I decided to bleed the system because I have been having dis-engagement problems. I was bleeding at the slave using a mighty-vac pump. Everything went fine for a second, but then stopped. I added a little more pressure, then a little more, then a little more until all of a sudden there was a swoosh and the master was sucked dry. No biggy, or so I thought. I refilled the master, but I couldn't get any fluid movement no matter how hard I pulled using the pump. I undid the fitting at the master and was able to bleed the line by itself. I then tried bleeding the master, but not go. I cannot get fluid to pass from the resevoir out of the master using the vacuum pump or by pumping the clutch pedal. I am really hoping not to have to remove this thing as I cannot possible see how to get a wrench on the bolt under the dash. Any ideas?
