Jaws of Life are the hydraulic units the fire and rescue guys use for opening crashed cars to release driver and passengers.

Loosen of the bleed screw on the slave cylinder.

The new pads may require a few kilometers of riding before they bed into the new disks.
Failing this, try reverse bleeding of your brakes. Use a large syringe and tube. Fill the syringe with brake fluid, being careful to remove all air from the syringe and tube. Connect to bleed nipple, and with the brake lever fluid reservoir cap removed, compress the brake fluid back up to the reservoir. Your syringe will need to be large enough to contain more fluid than caliper and line combined for this procedure.

The bolt clamp design is crappy,,, Re-tap the threads with a 1/4-20 tap and use 1" 1/4-20 bolts. Also try using a shim such as a piece of cardboard behind the plastice clamp to add tension. I have been dealing with for YEARS. and just decided to re-thread the holes and a bolt. I think I have finally fixed the issue?

down the dipstick hole--------short hose small funnel and pour it in ,but slowly

You need a medium-sized funnel; or a specially-designed transmission fluid filler funnel with a short hose attached to it (at Auto parts store for $5)... use a medium-sized funnel....

The filler tube is the same as the transmission dipstick tube.
Check the fluid level with the engine running, in park.
before adding fluid, turn off engine.

Insert the funnel into the tansmission dipstick tube, slowly pour in fluid (slowly!)..

In an emergency, you can make a funnel with paper or cardboard or sheet of plastic. ... and maybe duct tape...

Hope this helps!

clutch slave

hi from uk could you please give a little more info ? what make/model car ? has this problem occured suddenly? has car been layed up off road some time prior to this unable to select gears ? this problem sounds very much like the clutch drive plate is either stuck to flywheel hence question above ? or it is sticking on primary/spigot shaft for some reason and failing to disengage drive to g/box? how does clutch pedal feel ? you might try selecting 2nd gear with clutch fully pressed and h/brake on then try starting engine if engine starts ?runs then put slight revs on and slip clutch a few times this may work if plate is sticking? if you come back with update may be able to advise further
