How do you bleed the slave cylinder on a 99 6-speed.

Bleeding Slave Cylinder

I guess why do you ask is my question. I've been told it is a very difficult thing to do. And I'm inclined to agree. I just replaced my whole master cylinder/ slave cylinder assembly. I got my "kit" for about $140 prebled. If you want help replacing the thing in the expected 1.5 hours it is supposed to take to complete the task let me know. Honestly, it took longer to remove the old master cylinder than it took to replace the whole unit. It literally took 10 minutes to reinstall everything, but took me 2 hours to figure out how to disconnect the master cylinder plunger from the clutch pedal. Hint, pry the jesus clip off, forget clip pliers.

If I remember correctly, I think the best way to do it is while the master cylinder is out of the firewall so that you can at least try to get the air to float to the top. My dealer told me that the kit was the way to do it, says it is very difficult to bleed. Sorry I can't really help.
