What? Jack up whos rear???

I found that even with new clutch cylinders brake fluid will flow down hill from the reservior, through the clutch master and out the bleeder on the slave.

I ran into having to bleed the clutch master by loosening the line out the front -- the one that goes to the slave. back it off a just enough to force fluid out with the clutch pedal. When the pedal reaches the floor close the fitting firm but not tight. Pull the pedal back slowly. Repeat this a few times watching the fluid level in the reservior.

The line feeding the clutch master should not have an upward bend in it. This traps air. The line should bend gradually down to the clutch master.

Put some rags under the fitting to sop up the fluid.

This may or may not work if either of the cylinders are bad.
