I changed the clutch line on my '12. All I did was pump the clutch pedal about 200 times. I understand the earlier models have a bleeder, but I don't think it's necessary.

The correct way is with a vacuum.. And it takes only minutes to do it that way.

MityVac pump and a adapter to fit the brake fluid res top.... a kitchen sink rubber stopper works perfectly and cost $3.. drill a hole, insert a barbed fitting, silicone in place, let dry.

Fit stopper to reservoir, pull down 15-18 in vac, let sit for 3 min, pop off the cap to quickly release the vac.. pump the pedal 2 or three times... DONE.

At worst, you may have to do that a second time.

So i lied,, it might take you 7 min in total,, :lol:

The pump till your leg falls off may work for some, but not on the three clutches I've done one these cars so far.
