| I have spent days searching for some kind of explanation on how to do this procedure. Not just on this site, but on a few others as well. I am about to order one and am trying to get some kind of advice on how to do this. Anyone that has done this before can you please explain it a little? Thanks. |

| Obviously, 2 people are needed to bleed the clutch line. |

Not always. If you have ever done your brakes it is the same. You can get the same tools you use to do the brakes with one person. |

| so instead of pumping the brake pedal, I would pump the clutch pedal for this procedure correct? I am very familiar with bleeding brakes. Is there a speed bleeder valve available for the slave cylinder, the one that has a check valve in it to prevent air from going back in while bleeding? |

| yep pump the clutch peadal hold it then have someone open it up. then close it and pump it again untill all the air is out but the resovoir for the xa/xb is the same as the brake so keep on eye on that fluid level as well. |

Thats what I did. I got someone to hold the petal down and I opened the valve slightly and let a little fluid out. I was ust interested in removing any air, not replacing the fluid in the lines.
With the brakes, since I had more room, I used the one man brake bleeder kit. Its a tube with a bottle and magnet. You attach it, stick the bottole somewhere and crack the screw. Go inside pump the brake petal, come back out and tighten teh screw and look at the hose to see what came out. I got my kit from advance auto.
