master cylinder bench bleed?

[JoshC]

Do you know if i have to bench bleed the master cylinder for my clutch? I got a new one and someone once told me that i had to, but i wasn't sure. We got in on the truck already and it is pumping fluid out but it will not engage the clutch, please help, fast!! thanks.

Happy trails!!

Well, i wish i could have got some help. We tried forever today and we could not get any kind of petal. There were 3 of us, i was under the truck on the bleeder valve, one guy in and one guy on the resevior. He had a cap to put on the resevior that had a air valve on it for an air hose. The idea was to force all the air out of the system by putting pressure on top of the fluid, it work a couple of times and we got some resitance, but it went away. So i had to trailer it to the Ford shop and let them look at it, kind a kick in the nuts. Every time i work on that freaking thing it does that to me. I'm thinking i got a bad master cylinder or something.

Happy trails!!
