Bleed Clutch without Power Bleeder?

[kickarse]

I'm going to be replacing my slave clutch cylinder but I don't have a power bleeder. Is that something that's really required or is there a pump-the-clutch type solution?

Sorry for the newb question. I'm new to BMW's but have been working on cars for a while now.

A simple vacuum line into a bottle works great. Constant pumping is unnecessary, open the line drop the pedal close the line, do that a few times and you are good. Of course unless you have other problems.

Other problems doesn't sound promising

I'll try that, thanks!

vacuum applied works wayy better than pressure

if you have a simple vacuum hand pump find a way to seal off the top of the brake fluid reservoir and run the vacuum line into it...pump it up vacuum pressure to about 15-20 psi and watch the bubbles come up, does all the work for you...

this only works with the clutch, not the brakes

So basically you're forcing the air backup into the reservoir?
