Reverse bleeding is not easy unless you have the right stuff on hand, the proper size clear hose, 5/16, too fit over the brake nipple (9mm) and over the clutch slave nipple (7mm) this is where I got tired of the brake fluid shower or at least crawling back under in a puddle of B/F and re atteching the hose. Use a couple tiny hose clamps and use a 1/4 socket (not a screw driver) too tighten them. I have all that in a Ziplock and bleeding is easy. I dont want too wait for gravity and no "peddle down, close nipple yda,yda, Just pump the heck out the peddle, pump some more, close nipples, done
