Default Bleeding Issues with New Clutch LS7 Install

As you all know I was selling the truck well I have decided not to.

The problem I have now is I just had the EXOSkEL clutch taken out today due to failure and it is being shipped back Monday. I went on the T56 thread and saw a lot of people happy with the LS7 clutch and LS2 flywheel.

Well after all was hooked up my friend had me pump the pedal 3 times to bleed the system only to find out after the fact the Master Cylinder had no fluid. Now I am sure I have air that is trapped. What have you guys done since to fix such issue as bleeding and having the proper height adjustment on the pedal?

Please feel free to call me now as well I am in need of help 4106276617.

Bench bleed the master and then bleed the whole system just like you would the brakes, except don't pump the pedal more than once.

pin the pedal to the floor over night once the fluid comes out of the slave clear.

I got the system bleed this evening and it works awesome. I just can not get over how much quieter the LS7 setup is over the ExoSkel.

Thanks for all the calls and help with this matter much appreciated
