It looks like I need to get a brake bleeder. Has anyone bought one in socal? I could order one online, but my new slave cylinder comes in tomorrow and I don't want to wait.

So where does the clutch fluid go? I want to bleed it, but all the instructions just say attach the power bleeder... never where? Is it shared with the power steering or something? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.

The clutch shares the brake reservoir. My bleeder replaces the cap on the brake reservoir and puts air pressure in it. Then you just open the bleeders screws, either on the brake calipers of the clutch slave cylinder. Make sure you watch the level of the fluid in the reservoir between bleeding each device, particularly if you are trying to flush the fluid. If this is the case you should siphon out the old fluid in the reservoir and put in fresh fluid before you start the bleeding.

SUCCESS!!!
Engine starts no error codes or weirdness...
I had to pump the clutch to get it to come back up so I'm going to bleed it again tomorrow before i put the belly pans back on.
