Bleeding clutch (help!)




    Well, I bled out the brake lines just about two weeks ago and I forgot to
bleed the clutch as well.  I'd really like to do this as well.  Anyways, I had
too questions regarding this:

         1. Where is the clutch bleeder valve?  I think I've seen it before,
but when I was looking around the other day, I couldn't find it.

         2. I bought a manual brake bleeder (pump by hand kind) and I was wonde
ring if I could use that to bleed the clutch?  In the manual, I remember it say
ing to use a pressure bleeder to bleed it, but I was wondering if I really need
ed this?  And, if so, how much are they and where can I find one?

    Any help would be appreciated.  I also read someone's post about getting
air in the brake lines.  How bad is it if a little got in?  My brakes did feel
a little spongy after the fluid change, but I didn't see any air bubbles in the
fluid when bleeding it, so I think I am OK.

    So, my question is; if a little air got in, would that be a big deal and
would that effect braking ability on the track?  It was a pain in the ass and I
'd really hate to have to bleed them again.
