My friend who just got into Spridgets devised a great way to do this. We 
borrowed
the Maintenance shops vacuum pump that they use on air-conditioning. We took a
section of air hose that would fit over the fitting on the pump and ran it to a
large water trap jar borrowed from a dead machine. Then reduced the orifice 
down to
a hose suitable to fit over the bleeder. I kept the reservoir full, he watched 
the
clear hose until no bubbles came out, and the water trap jar kept things from
getting messy................... So damn easy, I would gladly bleed a clutch
again!!
