I just installed a new clutch master cylinder in my mini but I cant get the system to bleed. I've tried the pumping method and a one man kit both with no joy. The master cylinder just oozes fluid out of the rubber bung at the top where the pipe comes out.
The bleed nipple is definatley open on the slave cylinder but not a drop comes out and there are no visible leaks anywhere. Is it possible that one of the pipes is blocked or is there anything else?
Clutch won't bleed :s
