Lift up on the clutch pedal. And what is the procedure you are using to bleed the clutch slave cylinder?
Try loosening the bleed valve on the slave cylinder a little more.

i fixed a plastic hose on the bleeder valve..then I loosen the bleed valve on the slave cylinder, then my brother was pumping like 20 times on the clutch (forward, back,forward, back,...)..then it happens no more fluid was coming out of the hose..???? it is suposed to be a continous flow, isnt't it? (the reservoir was filled)

any ideas

You have no idea what your doing. Do you.


Pump pedal 5 times.
Hold pedal on floor on last down stroke.
Loosen bleeder until fluid pressure slows
Tighten bleeder.

Lift pedal.

Get hold of an old dog and have him teach you.

Is it loose and exposed enough where you can unscrew whats left in the slave cylinder?
If not, you'll need to remove the slave cylinder and try to unscrew it using various size allens or screwdrivers.
Then just buy a new bleed valve.

they make taps that are for removing broken bolts and valves like this. Its basically a reverse screwdriver.
