Subject:      Brake and Clutch fluid change in 91 Vanagon

I want to change my brake fluid (long overdue unfortunately) and I don't
have a pressure bleeder or even a vacuum device. I can do the brakes OK the
simple way (found it in the archives) but how do I do the clutch? Bentley
says to only use a pressure bleeder for this. Should I just ignore bleeding
the clutch and hope that enough of the new brake fluid will work it's way
through? Would a Mityvac vacuum type system work for the clutch bleeder
valve? And does the Mityvac work better for the brake side of things as
well? Can I try to work the clutch pedal in the same way as the brake pedal?
Should I do the brakes first or the clutch first or does it matter?


Thanx for this.


Rich
