No Bleeder tools needed.  Bleeds just like any other hydraulic brake system.

Mitty vac is $60.
First one lasted over 10 years.
Excellent tool to contain brake fluid and keeping a vacuum on parts..just say in..

if memory serves, the (L L) Speed Bleeder is designed for the clutch bleeder tube. Otherwise the bleeder isn't long enough to bottom out on the seat.

For some reason, come Spring my clutch was "soft" last year.

  I just bled it the old fashioned way.  Just a tube from the bleeder, down into a jar of brake fluid.  Came right back.  Just watch the reservoir to make sure it does not run dry.

STILL wondering why it went down in the first place.  Reservoir was still full!! NO fluid leaking anywhere, that I can see??   BEATS ME!!  But it now works just fine, once again......

Just one of those repairs, that makes one scratch their head.....????

Do a search for clutch slave cylinder. It's under the engine and you will find it's been leaking.
