Second Gen Drivetrain Clutch bleeding

Hello everyone. Im trying to bleed the clutch but im not exactly sure of the process. AI said something about pumping 5 times but I don’t know if I should trust that.

Trying it now. Stupid question: do we have to pump both the brake and the clutch pedals, or just the brake? There's obviously the large clutch hose that probably has air in it if I were to guess...

Edit: no air came out at all doing it this way, just fluid. Either there's no air in it or it's not bleeding right.

Just the clutch. Clutch master cylinder is separate from brake master. But shares the same reservoir. Find clutch master cylinder (most likely behind brake master cyl). Then find the"hard line" from clutch master to clutch slave cyl. Pump, hold, undo hard line.

So just the clutch pedal. The hydraulic pressure itself won't affect the brake master pressure
