I replaced the clutch master cylinder and the braided brake line in a 2000 camaro ss and I'm trying to bleed the system. I know how to do it but I've done the procedure 20 times and there is still no pressure in my clutch pedal. Everything is installed right. Not sure where to go from here. What could be the problem?
Assuming the replacement clutch master is not defective, you may need to replace the slave cylinder located at the transmission. Bleeding of the clutch system is done at the slave cylinder. Hope this was helpful.
You may have got a bad master cylinder.It happened to me before.I had to get 3 of them before i got a good one.Mine was on a full size jeep though.

i think youre doing the right thing. they are very stubborn to bleed because the hyd. line goes up high across back of engine before droppiing back down to slave cyl., trapping air. could try to gravity bleed by opening bleeder at slave, cap off of master cyl, full with fluid then it may start to come out after a bit. then try your process again. or can try to bleed at connections further up the line, working your way back to bleeder. hope this helps. be patient.

Try this unless you have done so....just about fool-proof!!!
THIS IS FOR A ONE PERSON JOB. IT IS A ONE PERSON BRAKE BLEED KIT.
SOURCE: brake pedal goes to floor
there is still air in your hydraulic lines somewhere bleed the system with a pressurised power bleeder and you will get instant results
SOURCE: Spongy brakes after bleeding them 2 times. Should I try to bleed the master cylinder or replace it?
Honestly your guess is as good as mine. But I don't think the master cylinder is NOT bad you still have air in the system. Get a big bottle of brake fluid bleed all four sides until you run out of fluid or your brakes work properly. You should divide the bottle's content in four, then use each quantity in each side. You'll be removing air and contaminated fluid from the system. Get a small hose that fits on the bleeders and an appropriate container. I have a good feeling if you do this your brakes will work just fine. I don't know how you are bleeding the brakes. I'll let you know the proper way just in case. This is a two man job, with the wheel off, have someone start the car. Have them pump the brakes a few times to get pressure. 1With the brake pedal UP open the bleeder, 2then have your assistant press the brake pedal all the way down and leave it completely pressed down. 3Close the bleeder valve, once close and only with the valve closed have'm release the brake. Repeat as necessary, bake depressed, open valve first then press brake. DO NOT depress until valve completly closed. Close valve THEN depress. Good Luck!

adjust the push rod that enters the cylinder.Sounds like your not letting the fluid into the cylinder.Shorten the pushrod then try.If still no success extend the rod if that fails you have a faulty cylinder.Hope that was helpfull good luck.
