I used a "wobbly" extension on my 190.

To fill the clutch system, open the bleed valve on the slave about half a turn, then connect a piece of 3/16" clear vinyl tubing between the RF caliper bleeder screw and the slave bleeder. Fill the clutch system up by "bleeding the brake." After about a dozen strokes of the brake pedal, close the slave bleeder and test the system.

Flush the brake system before you fill the clutch system as above so only clean, new fluid is introduced.

Flushing the brake/clutch system every two years should prevent future problems. I bet your system has not been flushed regularly.

My clutch slave failed not due to lack of fluid maitenance - the slave pushrod tip wore away to the point where the clutch would not release.
