:rolleyes:
Install clutch master in car, fill with fluid, open slave cylinder bleeder screw and wait for it to start to drip.
Close screw, pump clutch and hold to floor. Have friend open bleeder screw again and then close after pressure is gone. Repeat 5-6 times until clutch pedal feels normal.

go to auto zone buy a bench bleed kit for 2.00 then put the master in a vise and the lines from the out into the the resevoir then fill w/ fluid and push the master in and out until no air present remove lines and install to brake lines before fluid leaks out.

same thing only you need to go to all of the brake calipers and do the same thing. Pump the brakes and hold. Open the bleeder screw and let out the pressurized fluid and air. Tighten bleeder and pump up brakes again. repeat at each wheel until fluid is clean and free of bubbles and pedal feels good.

To do it solo, put a piece of rubber hose on the nipple, then put the end in a container with a little brake fluid in it (I use a soda bottle). Then you can loosen the bleed nipple and pump the brakes slowly, refilling the reservoir as necessary. Just make sure the end of the hose stays submerged in brake fluid or it will suck air back into it when you let up on the pedal.

get speed bleeders, replace all 4 bleeder valves on the calipers with your new speed bleeders, open all 4 1/4 turn, get in car and pump brakes 3 times, refil fluid, 3 more times, done.
