In addition to the DIY solutions already offered, remember that you could always simply go to the discount auto-parts store and buy a Vacuum Pump/Brake Bleed kit; about $40: http://www.actron.com/product_detail.php?pid=16292 Besides testing vacuum lines, it can also be used to bleed both brake and clutch hydraulic lines, as I've outlined here: http://www.vanthology.com/1Layout/Technical/Clutch3.html Essentially, top up the fluid reservoir, go back and attach the bleeder to a slave or brake cylinder, and actuate the pump. Old fluid and bubbles will be drawn through the line, thereby bleeding it and replacing with fresh fluid.
