Thanks, I was able to get it bled. My big mistake was starting the job
with the van on the ground. In order to reach the slave cylinder, I had
to get underneath. Thankfully, my 2 sons are home for the holidays and
were able to push the van up onto the ramps. Also, thankfully, I have a
sloping driveway.
I still have the problem of the cracked mounting plate for the master
clutch cylinder which I believe to be a "recall" design fault. However,
I haven't convinced the dealer of that "yet". Anyone else have master
clutch cylinder problems due to a cracked mounting plate? Do I have to
remove the steering column and dash to replace it?
Thanks,
Bill

Fill the clutch master cylinder then open the bleeder on the slave cylinder
and allow the fluid to run down and out the slave cylinder bleeder. Be sure
you have sufficient fluid to refill the clutch master at least twice. Unlike
brake master cylinders clutch master cylinders do not have any valves so
pumping the pedal is often futile.

I have managed to change the master cylinder on the clutch. Now I am
having trouble getting pressure. I imagine that I need to bleed the air
out of the lines, correct? Is there a trick to this?
