I just replaced the slave clyinder on my 84 4runner and i need to bleed the line. How do i do this, i cant find the valve to do this or is it on the cylinder and if it is how do i do it? I know you depress the clutch, bleed the line, then take the clutch pedal back out i just can't figure out how to bleed the line.

you bleed the line the same way you bleed brakes..... the valve is jsut like the ones on brakes and is located on the back of the slave cylinder or side near the firewall area

Here is a quick and dirty way to bleed clutches and brakes .... way better than holding down the pedal and hoping to not get any air in the system while you tighten and untighten several times.

Have a good one,

good way unless dirt/water is in the line. do this way and then dump bottle of flushed fluid. flush again to cover outlet of hose. the screw still needs to be opened and closed. if the line is submerged in clean fluid the air has no chance to get back into the line. let pedal up slowly when doing this. for brakes NAPA sells one way bleeders that work very well and can be done by 1 person the ol' skool way.

FSM says you should do the bleeding process at least 8 times, seems like alot but it needs to. Also if you drained the master cyl to replace the slave, you need to "bench" bleed the master. You can alternativly just open the valve on slave and pump the clutch a few times.
