i have just replaced clutch on punto 1.2 8valve and slave cylinder has no preasure can it be bled n if so how

sometimes gravity is enough to bleed these so you could try opening the bleed nipple and see if you get a constant flow from there,you never know,if not get someone to open nipple,press down clutch,close nipple,pedal up,and repeat that process again and again till you get a constant flow again from the nipple,you should see air coming out with the fluid also,if this doesn`t work then you may need a pressure bleeder to sort out your problem

Make sure master cylinder has plenty brake/ clutch fluid in it. then open bleed nipple at slave cylinder and let it gravity bleed until no air coming out. You can use a bleed tube and jar to avoid mess. remember to top up master cylinder during and after.
