Posted September 30, 201212 yr I'm helping a buddy with his 1998 3500. Has the nv4500 on it. How and the heck do you bleed out the slave cylinder? I can't find any thing on it to bleed it with. [ATTACH]4518[/ATTACH][ATTACH]4519[/ATTACH]Thanks for the help!
September 30, 201212 yr The way we ended up doing on a friends truck was hook line to slave up and before installing hold slave upright with line towards the top leave cap off master cylinder and pump the hell outta it air will eventually work up towards top might be better ways to do it but worked for usForgot to mention we also filled it up before hooking the line up
October 1, 201212 yr I haven't messed with the one of those clutch setups before but, I have bleed brakes that you couldn't get the bleeder screws loose before by pushing down the pedal and loosening the line instead of the bleeder. If you haven't got it bleed yet, that's what I would try.
October 1, 201212 yr Here is Mike's write up http://articles.mopar1973man.com/2nd-generation-24v-dodge-cummins/28-transmission-systems/54-hydraulic-clutch-master-and-slave-replacement My replacement had a bleeder screw on it and I bled on the truck. I am not sure how to bleed one with out the screw and on the truck.
October 1, 201212 yr Owner Dripley is right the whole unit has to be removed and bled hanging vertical to remove all air.
