Clark GCX25 - can't bleed the brake

this GX230-0235-9246 came in with no brakes. figured the master cyl. is bad.
they place the master cylinders at an awkward space behind the steer column. spent almost 1/2 a day to re/re a new one.
then tried all day to bleed it. still the same. anyone get any idea what went wrong?

we already tried to reverse bleed it.
could bleed 1 stroke then the cyl. lost pressure right away.
don't notice any leaks along the system.
would wheel cyl. cause this problem?

Yah, they are wicked hard to bleed, by design.

You can reverse bleed them, with either a pressure or vaccumn setup.

In the field, I found that you can get the pedal to pump up, by quickly pumping the pedal (~1/4 of the full stroke). Once the pedal comes up, you can bleed 1 stroke, then you have to pump them up again.

Hope this helps...
