Best option for 3.5 clutch system bleeding?

[sjefke]

All: Thanks for all the tips. I tried the oil can option, but gosh, I had a hard time finding an oil can with metal spout! Not at Home Depot, Pep Boys, and Ace Hardware. Finally found one (yes, a Plews), but when putting it on the hose, it was way smaller than the clutch slave bleed screw.

So, I went with the right brake caliper screw to slave bleed screw hose option. $3+ 3/8 inch clear hose from Home Depot works great (well, first pumps on brake pedal blew it off slave cylinder, but an extra push kept it tight). I did not need hose clamps and looking through front window under hood shows you movement of hydraulic fluid in brake reservoir. Anyway, I am on the road again with full working clutch and quiet 4-speed!

Thanks again for all your advice!

... a neat hose for this can be purchased at Drug Stores.. it is the clear plastic hose they sell for O2 Tank Inhalers... what is nice is they have a slip-on pressure fitting on each end that just happens to fit tighly over bleeder nipples...slips right on..
