Clutch slave cylinder?

My tools are a cut in half bottle with clutch/brake fluid sitting in it (in case anything gets sucked back in), a rubber hose that fits over the bleed nipple, a ring spanner, and a second person to listen to my "in" and "out" calls, works a treat everytime.

another way if u dont have a pressure bleeder is to connect a 3mm pipe to the left front caliper and to the slave cylinder,then u pump the brakes and it bleeds the slave from the bottom forcing out all the air-clutch in no time!!!

The brakes and clutch aren't connected.

Hes talking about using the brake system to force the fluid through the clutch line from the slave up.

Quite clever. Wonder how well it works.

Glenn??

It does work, a bit of mucking around, and I dont like the idea of pushing old brake fluid up through new clutch cylinders.

Just as easy to do a 2 person, pump & bleed, only takes a few minutes
