THIS IS THE METHOD I USE AND IT WORKS FAST, CLEAN, AND I THINK ITS THE EASIEST WAY....YOU CAN BUY THE PUMP ANYWHERE (AUTOZONE, KRAGEN, PEPBOYS) FOR ABOUT 30 BUCKS

What fluid are you guys using. I just used brake fluid based on the FAQ at the top these section. Was that the wrong thing to do?

Do it exactly like they do, outside the car on a bench and you will be fine. Dont be scared of it, it does suck but its nothing but time.

This is Buschman's Clutch Bleed Method.

The most important first step is too bench bleed the master.

Brand new GM master cylinders come pre bled allready so
bench bleeding is not neccessary.
