I made a pressure bleeder.. cost me maybe $15 including the pressure gauge.

FWIW, I had a stubborn slave cylinder that wouldn't bleed. My vacuum pump wouldn't work.. for some reason my pressure bleeder wasn't working. I was getting maybe 1/8" movement at the clutch fork when the clutch was depressed.

I popped the slave cylinder off and pushed the slave cylinder rod in by hand (with the master cylinder cap off) and got a massive air bubble. Topped off the master cylinder and pushed it by hand again. From there I had 90% of the clutch pressure and bled it the normal way for that last 10%

edit: I used the same instructions to make my pressure bleeder, nice!
