I'm having a very difficult time bleeding the clutch on my '01 Maxima. I've done the pump (both upper and lower with assistant). I've use a Mityvac on both upper and lower but had difficulty getting a good seal as air was leaking from between the threads. My next step is to teflon tape the bleed valves and try the vacuum again.

If the vacuum does not work. Has anyone bleed their clutch by applying light pressure through the master reservoir? Please tell me your success story.

 

Well we have a 2000$ pressurized machine just for bleeding fluid lines like brakes clutch whatever I'm a mechanic. Only uses 10lbs of pressure though so be carefull not to blow the seals out of the reservoir with however your going to do this but Goodluck man it works amazing for our stuff

 

Yes it works either way! Some like it sucked, Some like it Blown! I personally like mine sucked!
