Here's how to bleed the clutch without getting under the car. I did a little write up that works really well without getting under the car.

We were having trouble bleeding the clutch the normal way. You know, pump and open the bleed screw and close and pump. For some reason it just wasn't working well after about 45 min.
That's when I thought of this idea. In 5 min. we were done.

I've done that for years.
On a GTO it's a little harder because the hole is not on the bottom. It's on the bottom of the side.
That said, I've been told that it ruins the seals or something. Oh and the sky may be falling.

sound like a decent write-up but I can't view it from work.
Websense blocked it with the following reason:

WTF?!?! LOL

I mean, the system is under pressure when you apply the pedal so I don't see how using the mityvac to create a vacuum would harm the seals. Unless you create a really high vacuum, then I could see it happening. Not trying to put you on the spot Jimmard, just thinking out loud I guess.

Mity Vac's have a tendency to flip the seals in the master cylinder inside out. It did it to mine, you won't notice it except it will gradually let air into the system over time and your master will be ruined. Don't be a lazy *** and use te bleeder valve.
