Took me 5 hours to get a little bit of clutch pedal back in my bmw z3. I tried all the tricks on yt & nothing worked for me. Just bought this bleeder & hope it works for me like it did for you!
Usually, that means your bleeder valve is clogged. You have to pull the bleeder all the way off and then run a thin piece of wire through the little bleeder holes to clear the obstruction.
Like @peterraif6900 said, you've likely got a clogged valve. You need to remove that valve and clean it, get a new valve, or a new slave cylinder. They aren't too pricey, so might be worth it to just get a new one.
I did not have to pump the pedal. I think it works best if the pedal is all the way down to the floor. After it's bled and the bleeder valve is closed, pull the pedal up by hand and it should be firm.

Did it work for you?
Nice video!
Thanks Todd! I hope it’s helpful.
Everything connected and pressurised. But nothing happens when I open the slave cylinder bleeding nipple… any idea why?

Hi Clay. What version or model of the Motive Power Bleeder are you using. I have a 944 and want to purchase the same one you are using.
I believe I just got this off of amazon. As long as it has a 45mm cap to screw onto your reservoir, you're good.
Did you have to pump the clutch pedal while doing this?
If not which position did you leave it in, stuck down or stuck up?
