Bleeding the clutch
 
K so I'm about 80% done on changing my clutch, now its time to bleed it. I know your supposed to have a pressure bleeder hooked up to the reservior but I dont have one. So my question is can I still bleed the clutch if I dont have one, or is it impossible to do it without a pressure bleeder?

TIA

hmm, not exactly sure, i did it with a pressure bleeder, but i really dont see why you have to bleed it, unless you unhooked the master cylinder, it wont be any different, thats kinda like sayin when u replace the brakes u gotta bleed them

You might be able to do it by having someone press the clutch while you work the bleed screw, but I am not sure.
