Yes that is one way to do it.

I would like to leave it in the truck and do it but little to no room to knock that pin out that holds the pressure line to master cylinder. If I take it out and bleed it I would assume I need to leave it filled up when installing back. That will be a pain because I have to turn it to lock it in. You have a different method of bleeding it?

I think bench bleeding the master solved it. Too early to tell, will know tomorrow when I can start up the truck. But the pedal feels a ton better.

Still fighting transmission issues. In talks with monster clutches figuring stuff out. I bought this clutch used and monster says the clutch is in bad health, old and might be why it’s not releasing. Seller said it has plenty of life. Thoughts?

I would go with what they say vs what the seller says personally.

I reached out the seller to see if I can get my money back if I eat the shipping. I should have just got a new clutch to be honest but you learn from mistakes. The guy selling did not have any of these pictures of the clutch in what I have posted here. When I got it and looked at it I expressed my concern but he said its got plenty of life left.
I measured the thickness of that disc and its .3in so monster said its used 40 percent of material but that doesnt mean it has been abused. They havent sold this disc in many years

That thing is trashed. It’s been rode hard and slipped a lot from what it looks like.

Makes sense on why he didnt post up the pictures and wont return my messages or calls. Got hustled, it pays to just spend extra and get it from vendor and you know what your getting
