We have replaced clutch master cylinder several times and need to try once more to install and bleed new clutch master cylinder that has no bleeder screw. We need to know how to install and bleed new one.

Re: bleeding clutch master cylinder on 2002 cougar. Saturntech 4's response told me that there was a bleeder screw on the slave cylinder but
There may be a bleeder screw on the slave cylinder but I cannot find how to get to it without pulling the engine. There is no room.
How would you get the air out when there is no access to the bleeder screw. Any suggestions

Doesn't make sense that you cant get access to the bleeder screw without removing the engine. You cant remove the air box etc to gain access?I cant see what your talking about can you take some pics and post them?
