Default Clutch bleeding

So the dreaded clutch bleeding strikes again just installed new slave hose master cylinder couldn’t get a pedal so I sat down and thought brakes bleed all the time . Put the difference is brakes push against drum , rotor and blind a resistance there by pushing out the air So I cut a wedge pushed slave cylinder all the way in pumped pedal so it jamed against board and it worked 4or for times pump and release all air gone. Worked great hope this helps someone else.

Smart trick. Forcing the slave piston to stay compressed gives the air nowhere to hide when you pump the pedal. Basically you created the "resistance" the system was missing. Glad it worked.
