Anyone care to decribe how "easy" it is to bleed the clutch lines in an '84 Vanagon? Bently says to pressurize the system (from the resevior??) using a "special tool". I'd rather be able to use the low tech method of pumping on the clutch pedal. BTW, my mechanic charged me $100 to replace the clutch master cylinder in my '84 vanagon.
