I used a one-man ball check type bleeder kit. About 4-5 pedal pumps between above normal reservoir refills or it will draw more air into the system. I could pump the pedal with my right arm and watch for bubbles in the clear hose under the car. I could also check the clutch fork movement with my left hand with the inspection cover off after bleeding. That is also a good time to grease the clutch fork contact points. It pulls right out in a turbo car, especially with the slave cylinder off. If you are going to replace the slave cylinder, soak the flare nut in penetrating fluid. I use a cotton ball or a small wad of paper towel to apply it and wait a while. A 10mm flarenut wrench is best or a very tight fitting 10mm open end. Those flare nuts round over easily.
if your going to use somthing to get a flare nut off i used honey goo works like a charm and ive never had 1 stick its like goo after you spray it on. itll stay there till you wipe it off and its waterproof so if it rains the day after you put it on or just after you put it on it will still be there when you come back to it!
