I replaced my master on my 9Ks and of course had to bleed my clutch. So i came on here and read pages upon pages about inner tubes and bike pumps and this that and the other thing. Finally i got fed up and said screw it, i'll give this a try. This being a straight up pedal bleed. Once the new master was on and the system was tight, i topped off the reservoir, cracked the bleed valve on the slave, and pumped away at the pedal. At first of course there was air, but soon enough the fluid ran clean. I did this for a while, keeping topped off, and got the fluid through and through. Once i was confident i had as much fresh fluid as i was going to get, i tightened the bleed valve and was off. That was 5 months ago now, and i haven't had a single problem with my clutch since. so i don't know what all this hype is about pressure bleeding and bike inner tubes and what not. Just my experience, maybe i can save you some time and strain.
