I have a 1982 280zx N/A. I recently had to replace both the the slave and clutch master cylinders. After doing so, i am having a terrible time trying to bleed the air out of the system. I have bench bled both cylinders and followed the instructions in the FSM "to the t." I have read about people using vacuum pumps on the bleeder screw and people using a hand-pump oil can to pump brake fluid directly into the line after disconnecting it from the slave cylinder. Neither of these have worked for me. Does anyone have any other tricks or tips? Thanks in advance.

 

get wife unit or buddy to help is easiest. second tube from bleeder valve long enough to drop into a container with enough fluid to submerge the end. Use your arm not your leg to move the clutch pedal (rapidly is good) because you can pull it up and push it down. if you have help have them close the bleeder valve as you are pushing down on the pedal and a good stream is coming out. if you have to use the hose method barely crack the bleeder so you feel some resistance then close it off. Don't let the reservoir go dry.

 

I will definitely have to give this method a shot. I will post the results.
