    I've never had a problem bleeding hydraulics myself. Pump the pedal
    (brake or clutch) until you think you have moved some fluid then prop it
    down with a block braced against the seat box. Open the bleeder valve
    and let the air out. Close the bleeder valve and repeat the process.
    Saves a lot of cross- talk and confusion with someone who can't
    comprehend what you need to accomplish.
