Bleeding clutch is proving difficult for me first time.

I blew a clutch line and my clutch master had taken in air. I removed it off the firewall. Bench bled it, until no more air bubbles. than placed it back on the truck. I than put a new line back on. I left the bleed screw at the slave open until it started to bleed out. Then I took out the slave placed at an angle so that all the air bubbles would be forced out as i vacuumed bled it.Keep in mind I have the Master always topped up. tightened the bleeder screw. I had a medium to hard pedal before I put the slave back in to position. Than it went soft again. Bleeding a clutch is not like bleeding the brakes on this truck. you do not want to pump up the clutch cause you will force tiny air bubbles into the hydralic fluid. Im certain the master is bypassing fluid and not compressing. Again I had a second person repeatively push the pedal to the floor as I crack the bleeder and close it before the pedal hits the floor each time, with a clear tube going into brake fluid. I would love to be able to reverse bleed it! This is ongoing for me until I fix it... LOL!

If you want to reverse bleed it buy a small pump oil can. Clean it good with brake clean. After it is cleaned out fill with brake fluid and put a small hose on the end. Put the hose on the bleed screw and pump fluid slowly until bubbles are out of the top. Do not use a can contaminated with oil or it will ruin the seals.
