Subject:      Question #2 - clutch bleeding

Thanks to all for the help with my clutch bleeding question.  I purchased a
Mity-vac and I think it will make the job easier.  I still have one
problem.......The clutch pedal will not depress unless the bleeder valve is
open.  Could it be that the engine needs to be installed first so the clutch
pressure plate presses the T/O bearing in??? Could it be the pivot bolt on
the release shaft is too tight or is in the wrong position? Or could too
much air in the system be locking up the piston in the slave cylinder? Other
info.....when the bleeder valve is open and you depress the clutch there is
no movement of the slave cylinder (its new).


Thanks much for the help!!!
