I have a 2007 versa 6 speed. i recently changed the engine and now i am having issues bleeding the clutch. Every time i press the pedal fluid is blowing out of the small bleeder on the plastic tube? also where is this locking pn they mention in the procedure? I am baffled here. i can not make sense of the how to. I am obviously doing something wrong or i broke something when i hauled the engine off the transmission. I hope I can get some help here

If my memory is good you need to replace the clutch slave cylinder whenever the engine and transmission are separated. Quote below from FSM

"Never reuse CSC (Concentric Slave Cylinder). Because CSC slides back to the original position
every time when removing transaxle assembly. At this timing, dust on the sliding parts may damage
a seal of CSC and may cause clutch fliud leakage."
