We bench bleed it but with the built in check valve it seems pointless, the whole thing is a stupid set up.

IIRC I had 1 bolt holding it to the transmission and bled it by pushing in the plunger shaft by hand while working the bleeder with a wrench. Did it alone as my helper disappeared, he thought I was stupid when I said that the slave cylinder needed bleeding

We bench bleed it for quit a while then bleed the slave cylinder for an hour after putting it all together with no results. Unfortunately the slave is inside the bell housing so it`s not possible to tell if there`ws a problem with it as well as the master cylinder I replaced. I`m about ready to give up and send it to my friend`s transmission shop.

Good evening John
Had a pita time putting on a bell housing today, had it on the dowels, tight to the block and not a bolt would catch a thread. Neighbor walked by to check the mail box and gave my top bolts a try, wouldn't catch. It waited until the temperature to drop and had screwed up my day and magically they all caught, fingers were to buggered to get the cross member installed and the sun was going down.
The CPS junkie that has their permission to rip me off struck again last night, breaks in every week. According to our badged terrorists, he's my friend and I told him he could help himself to anything he wants in my yard and I should be grateful for everything he's done for me. How would you like a gang of terrorists for a Police force.

Good morning folks
Bell housing is on and tight, still have to put in the cross member, bumper and detail pieces on the cab. Need to cut a chain and lock the hood as Wayne Cater likes to pour water and sand down my carb during these cold spells, according to CPS, he's really fixing my truck for me and I should be grateful for that.
Last day of summer, we have some -25 days coming this week also, hope it warms up for the 17th as we have our pay it forward day then, quarterly volunteer thing

I`m glad I don't have a person like Wayne hanging around your neighbourhood! There have been vehicles stolen in our farming area, got my fingers crossed.
Colder days are coming our way too.
