OK I bled it from the slave and master and there is no air in the system and yet, despite its ability to hold in fluid (I have it pressed in with a 2X4 for 10 min and nothing appears to leak) seemingly, I'm unable to quite get enough rebound for it to pop out by itself. THe clutch is more workable than this morning but the pedal won't go in quite enough to disengage the clutch so now all I'm doing is wasting fresh brake fluid--it's been completely purged of old.
I'm likely now to take out the battery and air intake box and replace the slave cylinder and line. I thought there was leak around there earlier today but it was hard to tell in the light. How involved is the master as well?
Replacing the master cylinder should be as simple as disconnecting it from the pedal and un-bolting it from the firewall. Chances are that either the slave or master cylinder failed and caused the fluid loss. The biggest issue with both the slave and the master is just getting at the parts.
