Believe you have to have one person press the clutch pedal, while the other one runs the bleeder.

The one glance I took at one, it looked a lot a the same stupid design they have been using in Fords for years, and I found a really simple way to get her done...

If you disconect the line from the bottom of the master cylinder, and take the slave off with the tube attached.

Then use the slave like a srynge in a bottle of juice, and get it completely full of fluid with no air in it or the line...

hook your line back up to the master, and loosen the lid on the reservior...

put your slave back in wich will push all of the air backwards up through the master and should overfill your res...

Wash hands, start truck and drive her like you stole her. I can almost gaurantee this will and if there is a simpler and cheaper way, I would hope someone would chime in.

i found a simpler way a buddy of mine said put the master cyl on fill the reservoir up and put pressure on it with air and it will force the air bubbles up out of the line and to the top of the fluid. i hope this helps more people
