Bleeding clutch
I had to put a new rod in from the slave cylinder to the clutch fork. In order to do this I opened the bleeder screw on the slave cylinder and pressed the rod shorter in order to get it to fit.
now I have ZERO pressure on the clutch petal so I assuming I let some air in the system. Do I bleed the system and the bottom slave cylinder or is there a place up top to bleed it?
I lent my manual to a friend and he is away for the weekend
. I need the truck by Sunday AM for work

Use a 7/16? wrench to crack the bleeder screw (Drivers side of the transmission, above the clutch fluid line)
Just keep bleeding it til all the air bubbles are out (Use DOT 3 brake fluid and DO NOT let the reservoir go dry) and then tighten the bleeder screw and done.
