I'm planning on changing out my flexable clutch line to remove the CDV. Anyone know how to bleed the clutch and want to help next weekend (utgrad??? :devillook )? I will pay in beer.
Next projects are tire mounting and an alignment, I'll need takers on that too. :D

clutch bleeding is easy.
1) push and release the clutch pedal a few times
2) hold clutch pedal in
3) open salve cylinder valve
4) close salve cylinder valve
5) release clutch pedal
6) repeat steps 1-5 until all of the air is out of the line and/or all of the old fluid is out of the line.
Obviously, it's a two person job like bleeding the brakes.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong

Get a Motive Power/Pressure Bleeder and then it becomes a one person job. I've used one for over 3 years.

I just ordered mine form performancecenter.com for $40. Good deal, thanks for the tip. I take it that with the motive you still do the actual bleeding through the slave cylinder?

Correct, it just eliminates the need to have someone pushing pedals but is very handy when you want to flush the system, you don't have to keep refilling the master cyl.
