I tried to install speed bleeders on the clutch but i had the wrong size ( realized this after i took out the bleeder screw and lost pressure)

how do i build this back up?

the guy on the phone at nissan said i didnt disconnect the bleeder screw but it was the hydrolic screw or something like that (the one up at the end of the metal line near the top right corner of the engine bay near the windshield)

please help i need to make a 5 hr drive to MD as soon as i get this fixed

oh and i cant get the car in gear even is the peddle is all the way down and the car is on (but it will if it is off and the peddle is up or down)
whys that?

thanks

 

there are two bleeder screws for the clutch the one you are talking about which is easy to see and then a lower one closer to the engine block itself...you will have to fill up your reservoir with fluid and then bleed it until you get all of the air back out....check out the motorvate site for pics...

thats what ive been doing but i dont seem to be able to be able to get all the air out i guess...this sux

 

yeah when I replaced the lower hose in my system I bled it for like 2 hours and didn't get it all out...but got the car driveable...couple days later I bled it some more and that had given the system a chance to move the air to the bleeders....no problems since then...

 

how much brake fluid did you need to bleed for two hours?

 

I think one and a half bottles...

 

do i need to worry about the lower bleeder screw? i didnt remove that one

 

I have never used those speed bleeders so I don't know exactly what their directions are...but you should bleed the bottom half of the system till it comes back clean then bleed the top half...

 

ok well im not using the speed bleeders, it doesnt fit...using original screws...but thanks

when i get bubble free fluid will the peddle be like normal and come up when i push down on it?

 

ive bled the clutch before just fine, i dont know whats up now tho
