Bleeding air from the slave??
1988 F-150 4x4
I think I may have air between my clutch fluid reservoir and my slave cylinder. The slave is not accessible without tearing everything apart (a genious design) so is there any way to bleed the lines? Suggestions??

There should be a bleeder screw right next to the line. If I remember it takes a 10mm wrench. Break the screw loose and put a plastic line on it and route to a container. Make sure there is enough fluid and open the screw and let fluid run into container for a few seconds and close screw. Service reservoir and check clutch operation. It may take a few try to get all the air out.
