He easiest way in my book is just put your bleed hose on the slave ( I use the clear hose in a bottle method, with the end of the hose below the level of old brake fluid in the bottle - and the clear hose lets you watch for bubbles ) But just hook up your rig and give it nice smooth strokes, like 10 or so, unless it needs more. Nice fresh brake fluid too of course.

I have a manual brake bleeder which basically consists of a length of tubing a check valve. Will this work for the clutch or do I need a vacuum bleeder?
