I had a leak in my slave cylinder, so I got a new one, compressed it and went to put it on and bleed it. I shoved in the quick connect tube, popped the clip on, attached the hose to the bleed nipple, and opened it up. When I push down on the clutch pedal it drops to the floor and the only fluid comes out of where the hard line connects and nothing is coming out of the bleed nipple.

Only thing I can think of is I've compressed the cylinder too much some how and it's not even letting fluid into the bleed nipple. I used a piece of flat metal with 3'' screws so I will pick up some larger 4'' screws as I can't loosen the 3'' ones with out releasing the cylinder completely. Anybody know if this is even a remote possiblity? I'm really just guessing.

Any other thoughts?
