Trying figure out how in the world to bleed my clutch on a 1991 Rodeo. I replaced the slave cylinder, tried bleeding it at the slave cylinder and the intermediate bleeder valve on the side wall of the engine compartment, by opening the slave cylinder bleed valve, depressing clutch pedal, closing bleeder valve, pulling the clutch pedal back up. After doing this 400-500 times, no progress. I bought a vacuum/bleed system and hooked it up to the slave cylinder bleed valve and while system was fully closed, pumed up the vacuum, then opened the blleder slowly. After several times doing this, no results but a tired hand. Anybody have suggestions please? This has baffled me as to how hard this is. Thanks!

How does your clutch feel? You might just have to just adjust the clutch peddle.

at a minimum the pressure plate but not changing everything while in there would be silly

Make sure the Reservoir is filled up with brake fluid,,then manualy force the actuating rod at the slave cylinder back and forth in and out of the slave cylinder,,this should recharge the clutch system. then try bleeding again but make sure you do not allow air into the system.

could also be the host/tube connecting the master and slave together. Could be a small hole that sucks in air when you let off the clutch and pushing the fluid out on to a host that is so dirty or in such a dark place that you can't see the fluid seeping out on the hose

Good Luck

i think youre doing the right thing. they are very stubborn to bleed because the hyd. line goes up high across back of engine before droppiing back down to slave cyl., trapping air. could try to gravity bleed by opening bleeder at slave, cap off of master cyl, full with fluid then it may start to come out after a bit. then try your process again. or can try to bleed at connections further up the line, working your way back to bleeder. hope this helps. be patient.
