Hi, sorry I did a quick scan and didn't find the answer, most likely because it's common sense.
Anyway I got my replacement clutch master / slave cylinder assembly and as far as I understand you can't bleed them so they come pre bled and loaded with fluid?
My one came dry-empty, and with out any install notes, so do I just pure some brake fluid in it once its in and be done with it?
 
Should I may be brake off the seal of a piston rod and blead it like this man here?
 
The clutch master cylinder and slave cylinder that I installed in my '98 XJ a few years ago was full of fluid and pre bled.
Did yours have instructions stating you needed to fill and bleed the clutch master and slave cylinder, was the filling and bleeding missed in the manufacturers QA or did your fluid leak out ?
 
It just came dry empty. Doesn't look like it leaked out.
Anyways it does have a bleeding screw I just found out, so no worries.
 
I’m doing one this weekend and putting back the clutch safety switch. I can find any good documentation on the ordering and position of the shoulder washer and the foam pad. Is it CSS-foam pad - shoulder washer (and which direction) - firewall, or something else?

I have heard of Jeep owners receiving them full and empty depending upon where you order and who the manufacturer is....
The kit that I installed was full and pre bled.

That's not right. I would have returned it. The whole point of the kit is for a quick and easy install. DOT 3 brake fluid, hope it all works out.
