bleeding clutch slave

for the DIY to bleed a clutch slave with no shop equipment can be impossible sometimes.
Here is a sure fire way to do it with out a power bleeder.
  1. run a clear plastic line from a rear brake caliper bleeder to the clutch slave bleeder.
  2. be sure the brake master is full of fluid
  3. have someone depress the brake pedal and hold it, not to hard but hard enough to keep it depressed
  4. while they are holding the brake firm open the bleeder for the caliper and now open the bleeder for the clutch slave
  5. the brake pedal will go down and stop, air will bubble up into the clutch master reservoir
  6. close the caliper bleeder and refill the brake reservoir
  7. do the same procedure again, depress brake and hold, open bleeder and push fluid through clutch system in reverse
  8. do this for 5 or so times, each time keeping brake master cylinder full
  9. in essence you are reverse bleeding the clutch system
