Bleeding Clutch

It's pretty much gravity fed. You should not have to bleed it, unless you changed the bearing. Just keep pumping it until you feel the pressure. It make take a long time and you might look lop sided with a enlarged left calf, but you should be fine! If you want to get it done faster, take a bottle of fluid and a hose. Connect one end of the hose to the bleeder valve and the other in the bottle. Open the valve and start pumping. It's the same as doing breaks. If you tried to bleed it out, you need two people. You have to pump and pump the clutch, hold the pedal down as someone turns the valve. That should push both air and fluid out. So make sure you have enough and keep the tank full of fluid. The hose and bottle is a one person trick and when you release the pedal, it pulls the fluid in and so does pushing it out.
