How to bleed clutch?
Just replaced the clutch on my d16z6 and when I took off my slave cylinder out of the fork it pulled the ball out, basically the same as pushing my clutch in with my slave cylinder off, so now my clutch has no pressure when I push the clutch in and it doesn't pop back out. I tired bleeding the slave cylinder a few times but didn't feel any difference. What I did to bleed it was loosen the bleeder nut and the push in the clutch and hold it in, then tighten the bleeder nut back up, but no difference after two or three times. any help?

I've never bled a clutch, but I'd guess it's similar to bleeding brakes. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. Pump your clutch all the way down and up a few times, then hold it to the floor while someone cracks the bleeder and lets some air out. Repeat until you have pressure.

well when I took out my slave cylinder I acedently pulled out the litlle ball on the end of it when I took it out of the fork that holds the throw out bearing., not off, just pulled it out. which would be like pushing in the clutch with out the slave cylinder on I think.

Just make sure your clutch fluid reservoir is full, and after every couple times you crack the bleeder, top it off to make sure it doesn't get empty, or you'll have to start all over again. Can you hear air come out when you crack the bleeder open?
