Default Thanks Miti Vac

Just finished a clutch and slave cylinder swap on my '99 Z28 and was having problems bleeding the air out of the hydraulic line. I followed some of the posts here and purchased a Mitivac. I just put the conical fitting in the reservoir hole and pumped up to 15 in. Some air started coming up right away, but the big bubbles came up when pumping the clutch. After about 20 pumps, we were done. No mess. No DOT 4 shower from below. Went for a drive and the pedal feels better than ever before. Thanks to everyone that recommended this method!
