Default Master Cylinder

How do you get the d**n thing off?! I'm not new to cars by any means but I'm stuck on this one, I need to get it off, disassembled, reassembled and installe tonight. I replaced the clutch line with a SS braided one but my pedal is still losing pressure half way up. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I got this info out of my Haynes Manual.
My scanner is not working correctly at the moment so I had to take pictures.
Hope it helps you.

if you have alot of free play at the top of the pedal then remove the slave underneath the car and point the bleed nipple to the top so that the air can escape. make sure you clamp the salve piston though as when you pump the peddle the piston will shoot out.

Then bleed normally and then re-attach slave back to gearbox

I know it's bled properly, I've bled it twice since I put the SS clutch line on it. Will flipping the slave cylinder make that much of a difference?

I recently removed the clutch line off mine during my engine swap. When the engine went back in with a new nismo twin plate no matter how much we bled the system I had heaps of free play. No air was coming out of the system. Did some research on google and came across this issue for other cars so gave it a go. As soon as I did the peddle firmed up.

Well that was my experience

You did say that I just have selective reading. Let me know if you still need it.
