can a brake bleeding kit remove bubbles in clutch line?
if i left the clutch line connected at the slave cylinder and placed a vacuum on the resevoir line, would that collapse the bubbles in the line.. to be replaced with fluid when vacuum was removed? I have a hand pump harbor freight brake line bleeder. I really don't want to have to remove the entire clutch line as it looks like a pita

the master cylinder looks hard but it twists and pulls right out after you undo the linkage at the pedal. i pulled the whole line out just like in the video, the reservoir unclips and with that and the master removed and the line undone at the trans you should be able to maneuver the system out. remove the plastic inner fender from the front driver side, this helps with access.

Vacuum does not collapse bubbles in the line. It can expand them if enough vacuum is applied. Typical vacuum bleeders bleed by attaching to the bleeder valve on a slave cylinder. When vacuum is pulled on the open bleeder, it draws fluid out along with the air. The fluid is replaced by fluid in the reservoir. Once all the air is flushed out the slave bleeder is closed and it is good to go. If you have bad seals anywhere, vacuum can actually draw air into the system.
The problem with bleeding a clutch is the master cylinder is at an angle and air can get trapped with no way of bleeding it with out removing the master cylinder to rotated it to a position that will allow bleeding of the air.
