Does it fit in line or is it something that fits over the top of the
clutch master ?

I recently bled my clutch system quite easily using a Gunsons easibleed
gadget, which uses air pressure from the spare tyre to force the fluid
into the system. Having set it up all you need to do is lay underneath
and open the bleed nipple until air-free fluid comes out.

I'm not sure how available these are other than in the UK, but if you
can get your hands on one I can highly recommend it. I suppose it
wouldn't be too difficult to make your own one with care if you can't
buy one... if anyone wants details of it please let me know.
