So I replaced the clutch plate, pressure plate and throw out bearing today, but when I was moving the slave cylinder out of the ways he tip came off and some clutch fluid (brake fluid) came out. I replaced the tip and all seemed fine. After reinstalling everything, I wanted to see if everything worked as hoped, and there was basically no pressure behind the clutch pedal. I had some brake fluid that I was going to use to fill up the master cylinder reservoir, but I couldn't seem to figure out how to open the reservoir to put more fluid in. Is there a special trick? Is there a way for me to refill and bleed the system? Thanks for any help.

To clarify, this is a 2004 wrangler

With the amount of resistance that I have on the clutch pedal, I'm pretty sure that the pressure plate is not being disengaged when I press down the clutch. Feels like the air is just getting compressed. So do I teist off the master cylinder reservoir, or should I pop it off with a flat head, or is there another trick?

So I was about to get the master reservoir top off. Filled it halfway with brake fluid and pushed the slave cylinder rod back and forth many times. Never could get pressure back into the clutch. I'm guessing that my slave is letting air into the system, so I'm going to replace the master and slave with a prebled system. Hopefully then all will be good
