Default Surgical Tubing and a Broom

1/4" surgical tubing through a small hole in the cap of a bottle. Put some clean fluid in the bottle until it covers the bottom of the tube. Attach the other end of the tube to your slave bleeder screw. Crack the bleeder screw open, pump the brake pedal while you make sure your reservoir stays full of fresh fluid. When the fluid coming out of the tube is clear, use a broom stick to prop your clutch pedal against the floor board with the straw end against your seat. Then tighten up the bleeder screw and remove the surgical tubing and broom. I've been doing it solo this way for over 30 years and I do it this way on my Cobra as well. If there was anyone in my family that could pay attention and stay focused then I would use them....
