 Subject: Slave cylinder bleeding

Message:
OK After replacing the clutch and pressure plate on my 2003 4.7, I wanted to bleed the cyl to make shure theres no contamination. It has some type of quick connect fitting and no bleed screw. Is this a self bleeding cyl that I've heard of? Or is there some weird procedure. I cant find a Haynes/Chilton for this year and can't shell out $100 for a service manual right now. Thanks
P.S. Is it OK to run a silicone based fluid in the slave, or just stick to regular?

If you never lost any fluid in this system, DO NOT BLEED. This is a bear cat at best. If you feel the need, have it done by someone with the proper equipment to do so. My opinion. Been there and done that.
So many problems .... So little time

i was under my '00 QC sunday changing the oil and didn't see any bleed fitting anywhere on the whole system. looks like it's a sealed system.

It is a sealed slave system. If it ain't broke don't fix it.

There is a back yaed way to bleed one of these systems if you really ewant to but I do not recomend it. It's a pain not worth the trouble. I have a resal steep bank on one side of my frive/parking area. I put the rig over the side at an angle making sure it was leaning sharply and all fluids/air could travel up hill. making sure the fluid was toped off I put a piece of plywood against the seat and used a bar to hold the cluch pedal to the floor. I let it sit that way till the next day. Thinks was improved but not yet correct so i repeted it. second day all was well . I really don't recomend this pain unless your totally broke.Oh. This cleans nothing out
