Clutch master cylinder
Ok i put a new one in my 86 turbo 4runner. I went to bleed it and nothing..... No pedal whatsoever. I pumped it over 100 times and it didn't build pressure at all. Whats up with it?
kthxbye

x2, is the bleeder valve open at the slave cyl? If its closed and your still not building pressure check the fluid lines into the master cylinder and into the slave cylinder. Then check the seal on the new master cylinder and make sure its not bad right out of the box. If all that is good and you are still getting no fluid pressure check if you are loosing any fluid at all. If so check out the hardlines and softlines completely and figure it out. Why did you replace the MC in the first place? are you sure it wasnt really an issue with the slave cylinder instead?

I replaced it because the other one was leaking into the cab. And it wouldn't hold pressure. Do you have to bench bleed these?
Thanks for the advice.

gravity bleed
It worked really good for me on clutch and front brakes.

Definatly invest in a suction bleeder kit. It takes about a minute to bleed the clutch master and its DEFINATLY bled. Also great for bleeding brakes which people neglect all too often.
