I use a bicycle tube and a hand pump. Cut the tube near the valve and put the long end over the reservoir opening. In reality you don't need a pump. Just roll the tube up and it develops enough pressure to bleed the clutch. If you have a persistent bubble, push the clutch in and let it snap up on its own power. This should dislodge any air bubbles. If you're really lucky, the clutch will gravity bleed without any pressure. That's rare, but it does happen occasionally. Duane
