I have a 240D that I've replace the slave cylinder on and am trying to bleed the system and it won't allow any fluid in. I've done this procedure when I replaced the clutch master cylinder and did not have a this problem. Did I do something incorrect in installing the slave cylinder.

i tried a power bleeder from the bottom ($7 bug sprayer) and all it did was leak out the threads of the bleed screw. then I used the power bleeder from the top, cycling the pedal with pressure on the master cylinder, finally it was flowing through. then i pumped the power bleeder a couple more times letting it push more out and then closed the bleed screw.

I've tried from the top also but still did not seem to get any flow although I was not pushing on any of the pedals.

i thought that if I did it again I would use the pressure at top and a $5 one man bleeder at the bottom and just pump the pedal.

I offer this: Replace clutch slave cylinder and bleed clutch
I just replaced the slave a short time ago and also of course bled the system. It even has pics......
Bleed from the RF brake caliper. Super easy and worked the first time.
