No special tools or rigs are needed to bleed vanagon clutch hydraulic
systems.
My 'rig' cost 50 cents, and has performed flawlessly on the last 65 clutch
hydraulic clutch bleedings on vanagons, or the last 265 times I did.
You do have to know what you're doing of course,
But I personally DO NOT recommend pressure bleeders.

I have a pressure bleeder too btw, collecting dust on the shelf.
I think it's better to use the master cylinder itself to bleed the system.

Ed, I looked up this Speedbleeder you speak of and it looks pretty legit to
me. I noticed that it is available only for 73-89 and 92-95 VW Vans.....so,
did you order the SB7100 for 73-89? Mine is a 90 and I wonder if 90-91 vans
had different size bleeders...........Thanks,
Miguel
