Default 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?

pretty much.

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.

i had to do this on my 93 accord. you just have to do it like you would the brakes but it takes like 5 times longer. it honestly took us like and hour of pumping to get the damn thing back to normal.

Take the cap off the master, open the bleeder and just wait, it will run out buy itself, keep the resiovior full and let it run out for a bit then pump and bleed
