Had a leak on clutch master cylinder. Replaced master and slave cylinder and as per manual I've attempted to bleed them but so far no joy.
I've had the wife pump the clutch whilst I've connected a piece of tubing to the bleed nipple on the slave and the other end under the surface of glass of hydraulic fluid with the nipple loose. Done this for 20 mins until bubbles appear to stop. Clutch pedal moves easily but hardly any resistance.
Q1. Should I be tightening the bleed nipple when releasing the pedal and opening for pressing?
I've read other threads that you can use some sort of pressure equipment but I don't have this.
Q2. how long approx should it take to bleed?
Q3. I have an pump type oil can, would it be worth releasing the connector on the master cylinder and reverse bleeding?
Any help or advice greatly appreciated.
