Bleeding the brakes today with a mate. All went well and went to do the clutch as changing old fluid. Undid the bleed nipple on the gearbox/clutch and pumped the clutch peddle once. Fluid came out into the bottle. Went to press again and the peddle was now limp and no pressure what so ever. Question is what's now happened? Spoke to techie and he says it could possibly be the slave cylinder seal gone. Gear box out job I guess. Any other ideas of what I can do or try? Cheers

Ezi bleed kit might help

Have you got a pressure bleed kit ? Ive got one you can borrow coming past in the morning if any use. you do need a air supply with mine

Mine was the same, it's because the pedal doesn't have a return spring. Close the nipple and raise the pedal manually, then repeat as necessary

I'm not using pressure as I had a mate to help. Bleeding the brakes was easy so thought the clutch would be the same. We are about to try an EZbleed now. I think I pumped out all the fluid in the clutch line and then it filled itself with air . Claws I did lift the peddle back and try pumping again but nothing cam through. Any other tips would be great, will keep you updated

Note to self, use an EZbleed when doing the clutch
