I may be missing something here Ken, but on my 5kq my home made
pressure bleeder is hooked up to the the cap on the reservoir. The
clutch is fed from this near the top so you have to be sure to keep
the fluid level up. Igor Kessel came up with a way to supply fluid as
well and you could find that in the archives from about four years
ago. I have bled the clutch hydraulics using this. It's simply an air
pig, extra reservoir cap I got from the junk yard with hole drilled
through in the middle to accept a valve stem, and a hose clamp around
the cap jus' in case it wants to pop off. I used 10 lb. psi but some
have gone up to 15. You can also use a tire to supply pressure, just
drop it down to 10-15 lbs. If your car (I'm not sure what you're
working on) has a separate clutch reservoir, get another cap from junk
yard or dealer and do the same thing. Cheap pressure bleeder.
