You giving it your all. 👍💪.. But on compressors...never buy an oiless compressor for anything more than a hobby or air up tires... Always get a oil lubed compressor.. The heat kills the diaphram in the oiless and they are really noisey.... Awesome work so far working with what you have.

Most of my frustration is because of the conditions that I have to work in and around. From the elements to the jagged rocks and makeshift floors and no storage or place to put anything makes this a lot harder than it normally should and my attention is focused only because it's causing me to stumble. What should be done in a day or two takes twice as long. Is also very frustrating when these cheap tools keep failing. Temps also supposed to drop down in the teens for over a week. I've got two days to get this done before it's so cold it's unbearable

You have to use the rollpin that comes with the clutch master. I tried using a cotter pin and it worked for a long time until the hose popped out, haha. The trick to bleeding it is moving the clutch master below the transmission and pumping the air bubbles up.

To bleed the slave cylinder, you have to keep it at a 45 degree angle. Chats from the Chiltons manual. Took me forever to figure out why it wouldn’t properly work after replacing everything.

I took the whole system out and I'm bench bleeding it right now on a vice. Can't tell if I got a bad line or what's going on but I'm going to bleed it completely out right here and then keep it together and try to fish it back through and hook it up. I'm suspicious that I've got a bad line

I’m m just saying, I thought it was the clutch master cylinder. Replaced that and the line to the slave. It worked but then randomly stopped. Replaced the slave. Bled, and same thing. I then opened the old Chiltons book and the slave cylinder bleeding procedure is different- like I was saying- it has to be held at a 45 degree angle ( I forget which way) and problem solved. I’m just throwing that out there. I couldn’t understand why the clutch hydraulics was giving me so much trouble. It was the bleeding procedure I wasn’t doing right. On an 87 s-10 btw

Found a video on KZbin called “ how to clutch slave cylinder s10” it shows how you have to have the slave unbolted and at an angle when bleeding.
