[TR] Bleeding Clutch Slave Cylinder

[Vin Marshall]

I don't hold the pedal down.  I press and release it a few times.   
Which really is pretty much the same as doing nothing and then driving  
it.

It is my understanding that the bubbles will work their way out just  
by sitting there, but that it may take a  while. Allegedly pumping the  
pedal - and thereby the slave cylinder - makes the process go faster.

That's my understanding of it anyway.
