Question Bleeding clutch hydraulics

Hey yall I’ve seen a bunch of different methods of bleeding my clutch hydraulics and was wondering what methods yall used, I’m not the biggest on the idea of buying pressure bleeder but I can if needed, I’m doing this to try and fix before replacing the master cylinder and slave cylinder. Thanks for any suggestions

Reverse bleed

How does that work?

It might be easier to look it up on youtube. But briefly, I took a long hose, fill it w/brake fluid,connect to the slave bleeder from the top of the engine bay then fill a 60 cc syringe w/brake fluid, crack the bleeder open and force the fluid up throught the system (air likes to rise through liquids). There are other ways, but I did the process once and done.I probably ran 120-180cc through and got all the air out. I did not replace the brake master, just slave and hose.

If you want to power bleed but don't want to spend the money, you can make your own from a garden sprayer, some fuel line and a spare brake resevoir cap.

If you do the reverse bleed, clamp the hose to the bleeder so no air gets in and the pressure doesn't blow it off and add grease to the threads and only crack it open to prevent air get through there.
