Ahhhh... with it all out of the car... should be plenty of room

I'm jealous

I guess as long as you kept the little oil can full and didn't push any extra air up the line it seems like it could work out pretty well.

I guess one of the miti-vac type solutions might work too, and Harbor freight might have a couple of cheap bleeding solutions as well.

I've only done motive bleeding and the old fashioned 2 man brake pumping method. I'm not sure if that works on the clutch or not. The Bentley says to use a pressure bleeder, and also to have the clutch pedal fully depressed while bleeding. I'm not sure if that applies to the other types of bleeding as well.

Good luck!
