Replaced slave cylinder & no pedal?

I replaced the slave cylinder on my 93 NA. After doing so of course the clutch pedal bottomed out. Tried to bleed the cylinder and not much luck. Is there a bleed screw in line or something you must bleed in addition to the one on the slave cylinder?

there's a second bleeder screw at the very front of the passenger side of the engine bay... it's the only one I use because, logically, air rises to the top of the system and will therefore escape more quickly through that bleeder screw. (P.S. I hope you actually know how to bleed it, because I've encountered people who were simply doing it wrong.)

The guy helping me had done it a few times before but not on a z. Are you saying you bled your line only from the one screw and did not put the drain hose down on the slave cylinder to bleed it?

there's two bleed points. One on the passenger side fender in the engine compartment, other is on the slave cylinder. Use both although just the bleeding of the upper one may be all that's necessary.

^2nd... and yes, I only use the upper one when I bleed my system and have never had trouble.
