the brakes are ok ,, the weir in the fluid tank stops losing any and the pedal is still ok... well so far but the cluch pedal stays on the floor...
so how do I do it ????
just checked rx7club.com they say two people one in pumping the pedal , one turns the bleed valve.... so far so good what if the pedal only goes down??? and when you pump by hand either nothing happens ie. still slack pedal or if the valve is cracked it empties the res....

You might need to return it with your foot. If there is no fluid in it at all then the clutch can\'t return the pedal from the floor.

The best bet might be an Easy Bleed. All you\'d need to do is fill it with fluid, attach it to the filler cap, give it some pressure from a tyre, and open the bleed valve on the clutch. The standard cap it comes with even fits nicely on the mazda.

Highly recommend getting one if you don\'t have one. It can come in really handy for filling gearbox and diff as well, not to mention making brake bleeding a one man job, and only costs about a tenner.
