He easiest way in my book is just put your bleed hose on the slave ( I use
the clear hose in a bottle method, with the end of the hose below the level
of old brake fluid in the bottle - and the clear hose lets you watch for
bubbles )
But just hook up your rig and give it nice smooth strokes, like 10 or so,
unless it needs more.  Nice fresh brake fluid too of course.

Subject: clutch bleeding

What is the easiest way to bleed the clutch after replacing a slave
cylinder?  I have a manual brake bleeder which basically consists of a
length of tubing a check valve.  Will this work for the clutch or do I need
a vacuum bleeder?
