    Default Bleeding the clutch

    K so I'm about 80% done on changing my clutch, now its time to bleed it. I know your supposed to have a pressure bleeder hooked up to the reservior but I dont have one. So my question is can I still bleed the clutch if I dont have one, or is it impossible to do it without a pressure bleeder?

    I would go bye one but I'm stuck at home with no car and I want to get it done TODAY!

    TIA

    I've never used a pressure bleeder on a clutch. Bleed it just like brakes.
    1) Pump 10 times,
    2) hold pedal to floor
    3) open bleed screw
    4) tighten bleed screw, release pedal
    5) Repeat 6 times
