Where is the bleeder screw on a clutch with an internal slave cylinder? I just put a new clutch master cylinder in, is there a way to bleed the lines? I feel like there's still a little bubble in there...
1987 AX4 transmission to an AMC 150 L4-compatable bellhousing, if that helps.

was it just the master you replaced? newer ford and dodge clutch master cylinders come as a group with the line and the slave already attached and no need to bleed them. bolt it on and go. if this isnt the case and there is no bleeder on the slave cylinder, it may clear itself. its a simple hydraulic cylinder, with the master up high any air should move up the line the the master.

Yeah, this line drops down to a port on the top of the master cylinder, which came alone as a single piece. It's almost good, I might have to just keep pumping the pedal.

if there is any way you can get the slave cylinder in a position so the line is higher than the piston end. this will help work the bubble out ya know what i mean? if it points to the back of the xj, than back up on some ramps or something to get it up higher than the other end.

i checked google and i dont see any bleeder on the slave but it looks like its only held in buy two bolt and comes out pretty easy. if that be the case, take it out and hold it so the line is point up toward the master and give it several good squeezes buy hand to work any trapped air back up the line.

The hydraulic line runs into the bell housing to the internal slave. I can't get at the slave without separating the engine & bellhousing again. The bubble, if it levitates like most air trapped in a liquid, shoud be above the brake booster where the line is highest. I think I need to do an internal bleed, there's just no way to bleed the lower end...
