where do you live, I'll tow the car over !!!

Not pratical from South Carlolina,
It looks like a vacuum system or mighty vac is the only way to get the job done.

Thanks all
Tommy

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!!
