Have you checked to see if the line from the master to the slave is clear? Maybe that was the problem all along. My suggestion is to use the rod from the car, not the replacement master. That was my problem, the original rod got thrown away before I knew it was too long. That one would still bleed it just had a weird high clutch with short engagement. Curt

What I have done today is I unbolted the rod from the pedal so it is all the way up, still continuing with the line hooked from brake caliper to slave cylinder. I pumped the brake pedal for several minutes, closed the bleed port on the slave, reconnected the rod to the pedal (which requires being pushed in slightly, and still no pedal action. I went thru this several times and made no progress. I went and got one of those oil squirt cans and will get a longer piece of line so I can run it out from under the car and pump fluid in while watching the reservoir.
