When I replaced the clutch master and slave cylinders and the tubing
(with an extra curl in it) last year, I had no idea how to bleed so I
partially filled the reservoir and with a mityvac, filled the rest from
the slave
cylinder bleeder valve with another person around who watched the bubbles
in the reservoir. When the
bubbles stopped as I continued to add fluid, he prevented an overflow
by removing potentially overflow fluid with a big syringe.
It worked rather quickly and has held up for the year. Maybe it was just
beginner's luck 'cause it was the 1st bleed I had ever done.
BTW, I had seen something like this as a tip on the list. It worked
nicely, Norm.
