Clutch Bleed

Service manual states it in a fairly simple manner.
I see also an upper bleeder,anyone use this as well to bleed?

https://maxima.org/forums/5th-genera...ring-back.html

The Service manual shows a little picture with both bleeds stating to use both.
I can't seem to find the other bleeder valve.I'm assuming it's between the tranny and air box?

Wouldn't I just be able to bleed from the top valve using vacuum?
Who's a pro at this? I have never done a clutch bleed.

Don't screw with the upper bleeder. The 02/03 has a really screwy system that can trap air all through it. A lot of us just replace it with a straight line.

If you want to bleed it just use the bleeder valve at the slave and do it like you would the brakes. You can use a vacuum.

That line only replaces the soft rubber line and leaves the tangled maze of hard lines.

There is a member here who has a store selling a full SS replacement line from the master to the slave. I can't remember who though.
