just pull back the carpet and drill a hole through your floor board above the slave bleeder.

I did that and now it only takes one person to bleed the clutch hydraulics and I dont have to go under the car!

I am getting conflicting opinions on the best method.

1. Open bleeder, push pedal down, hold pedal with closing bleeder.

2.Push pedal down, open bleeder, close bleeder, release pedal.

#2 is the way i do brakes, but people number one is best for the clutch?

-open bleeder valve
-press pedal, hold pedal down
-close bleeder valve
-release pedal
